Scott Horton explains yesterday's Supreme Court ruling

My versions:

The Supreme Court has once again affirmed the principle of "One dollar, one vote".

Money has a right to free speech. Actual citizens, not so much.

"Judicial restraint flies out the door when money comes innuendo." - Justice Antonin "Groucho" Scalia

P.S. Read Scott Horton's great articles about our detainees, as well.

Bush’s Gilded Age - Scott Horton

Scott Horton did a terrific job on the Bush-Rove US Attorney scandal. I should have put No Comment on the blogroll when I first made it.

Bush and Rove brought back the Gilded Age: through deregulation and tax cuts benefiting the wealthiest 1% of Americans, they reintroduced a period of vast wealth accumulation in the hands of a tiny fraction of the country.

The story is similar again for access to health care. When Clinton left office, the number of uninsured Americans stood at 38.4 million. By the time Bush left office that number had grown to just over 46.3 million, an increase of nearly 8 million or 20.6 per cent.
