[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congress can overturn it.[/quote] If you didn't take a civics class in high school, Google is your friend. Citizens United cannot be overturned by Congress, but Congressional Action is part of getting a constitutional amendment. But a sufficient number of state must also approve it, 38 in specific Both Clinton and Sanders are on record as supporting such a constitutional amendment. The democrats already tried to start the process in the senate but did not have enough votes with all republicans opposing it ( need two thirds to support). Obama has also publicly urged that a constitutional amendment be passed. All of this is easily verified with a basic web search All of this is easily verifiable. I can't believe how many Sanders supporters are utterly ignorant how arduous and long the process would be.[/quote] I don't recall hearing anyone saying it [i]wouldn't[/i] be long or arduous. I think around 16 or 17 states are already in. Jeb, Obama, Hillary Clinton also agree with Sanders that it can and should be done and the sooner the better. So I don't get where you single out Sanders as somehow being at right angles to them. The biggest issue is I can't believe how many dumbass right wingers think Citizens United is a good thing that shouldn't be overturned. Makes me just fume every time one of those morons then goes on to say anything about "freedom" or "liberty" or "founding fathers" et cetera. [/quote]
