The constitution was, and is, a living document meant to be adapted and clarified as it is needed. In addition, the founding fathers could not have forseen adavnces in our society, technology, views, or greed. Therefore, it is the people alive today to interpret this the way they see fit. Since that time a justice system has seen no reason to rule on the issue being discussed here. However, the issue I think becomes that a Supreme Court seat is more with each passing year, a politically charged office----when it should not be. The fear appears this ruling is more based on political opinion, than actual interpretation of the consitituion....a fear which for many rulings in the recent hx of the court, appears at least one to discuss.

Exactly. It's an opinion and therefore has been made by a body created to uphold the constitution. Once again Kuzi and puro you two seem to love to defend corporations and see government as the bad guy. Which is funny because these companies that you love so much caused much of what our current economy is made up of, including the role the united states has played for several decades. I get why mitch mconnell sits up and lies about almost everything out of his mouth, he's making money and getting plenty of donations from his masters but you two and many others get nothing but love to curse government and praise private entities.
Vulchor also feels (as he talks in the third person) the decisions of the court are always partly shaped by the personal biases and feelings of the justices. I worry that it is true now more than ever, and fear decisions are being based on political opinion at times, and not sound interpretation of the constitution.
As stated before Puro, I am not the left-----registered Republican who has voted for McCain and R. Paul in last 2 primaries, and Pat Buchanan my first election voting for Pres. Nevertheless, say about me what you will...I feel for you.
And Squirrel, the fact that people believe Palin is intelligent and well spoken enough to be our President-----and there are a lot of people who do----is part of my continued loss of faith in the people of this country, and possibly humanity in general.

Seriously? Have you read anything about this ruling? How does this allow corporations to control all advertising around an election? All this does is allow them to actually advertise. The fact that you think this gives them some kind of sinister control over anything is rather sad. I've asked at least 5 times in this thread, but show me where in the Constitution that free speech is limited in any way. Blaming the Supreme Court for upholding the Constitution is like blaming a calender maker for it being cold during the winter...
