John McCain, Give it a Rest

Citizens United put an end to the shackles on political donations to political campaigns.

Senator John McCain has filed another brief to the Supreme Court, this time requesting that they reconsider their landmark 2010 ruling.

The state of Montana has banned corporate donations for a century, according to the brief, jointly filed with liberal Rhode Island senator Sheldon Whitehouse. If there is any political move which should prompt the voters of Arizona to slap themselves with shame for sending back a maverick-moderate to Washington, this move to bolster shameful limitations on donations should do it.

Senator McCain wants to control the flow of political donations into the electoral system. What are the senators doing, however, about the defict spending and national debts which are robbing our future while wasting away our present standing in the world?

The Supreme Court ruled supremely well on the matter of campaign donations, which count as political speech, whether anyone wishes to catalogue corporations as people or not.
