Activist Court Cuts One

Justice John Paul Stevens Voices Frustration With Recent Decisions of Supreme Court: "“The rule announced today — that Congress must treat corporations exactly like human speakers in the political realm — represents a radical change in the law,” he said from the bench. “The court’s decision is at war with the views of generations of Americans.”"...

..."“While American democracy is imperfect,” he wrote, “few outside the majority of this court would have thought its flaws included a dearth of corporate money in politics.”"
