Plutocracy Unbound!

Who better than the Wall Street Journal for details about today's Supreme Court decision enhancing its line of "government for sale" cases, beginning with Buckley v. Valeo, continuing through Citizen's United and now "McCutcheon," which invalidates aggregate campaign contribution limits. The days of Bebe Rebozo, and transparent bagmen, are not far away from our future, as the Sheldon Adelsons, Kochs, and Soroses are undoubtedly celebrating this victory (along with their patrician stooges like Jeb).

The Roman Pretorian Guard formally auctioned the Principate to the highest bidder after assassinating Commodus, and his short lived successor Pertinax in AD 193.  America is arriving at its own logical imperial destiny, thanks to corrupted legal systems and courts.
