Any corporation can now spend as much as they wish on political advertising, even if that corporation is foreign owned. As crazy as this sounds, conservatives on the right think it's a good thing.

Here are the details of how the supreme court justices voted:

Sonia Sotomayor: Nominated by Obama 2009 (D)Against
Stephen G. Breyer: Nominated by Clinton 1994 (D)Against
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Nominated by Clinton 1993 (D)Against
John Paul Stevens: Nominated by Ford 1975 (R) Against
John G Roberts Jr: Nominated by G.W. Bush 2005 (R) For
Samuel A. Alito, Jr.: Nominated by G.W. Bush 2006 (R) For
Clarence Thomas: Nominated by H.W. Bush 1991 (R) For
Anthony M. Kennedy: Nominated by Regan 1988 (R) For
Antonin Scalia: Nominated by Regan 1986 (R) For

John Paul Stevens, the only republican to vote against this travesty, even wrote a 90 page brief on how this would hurt our country. He predicted that the ruling would "cripple the ability of ordinary citizens, Congress and the states to adopt even limited measures to protect against corporate domination of the electoral process."

How could the only republican justice not appointed by the Bush twins, or Regan have such a different perspective? Or, maybe that's it, a reflection of those very administrations.

What's the big deal?
In simple terms, if a candidate fails to support legislation in favor of big business, those very corporations can now legally spend limitless amounts of money on political advertising opposing that candidate, and supporting his rival.

Imagine a less popular candidate, with policy the majority of Americans find unfavorable. That candidate could simply cater to the wealthiest corporations for limitless funding, advertising, and marketing to win office, even though the "Will of the people" has little chance of being served.

This has the potential of creating a "Ruling Class" composed of the wealthy, while destroying the vision of this country's founding fathers. The very concept "Of The People, By The People, For The People" is completely disassembled, and abolished.

Even worst, this ruling gives a deafening political voice to the wealthy citizens of foreign countries. ANY organization can open the flood gates of cash by simply incorporating in the US. America will not just be controlled by the wealthy American citizens, but the wealthiest of the world.

We can, in our life time, witness the end of American democracy, and the end of the greatest nation the world has even known.
