Like the Gun Nut Ruling

and the child rape ruling there are other rulings the USSC is making with 5-4 decisions. Justice Kennedy is being used as the swing vote in this series of close rulings. Kennedy took the side of the NRA/Federalist Society hacks on the gun issue, and he took the side of the so-called "liberals" on the high court on the child rape death penalty issue.

You can figure Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Roberts are the Federalist Society hacks who will always rule in favor of right-wing talking points (as in the completely fabricated Second Amendment ruling), and for corporate and financial elite interests. Kennedy will flip whichever way the wind blows. The high court is not ruling on constitutional issues at all or acting as an independent arm; it has become nothing short of another political arm of the GOP for the most part.

The high court struck down a portion of the McCain-Feingold law that allowed candidates to accept larger-than-normal contributions if their opponents use their own wealth to finance campaigns.

Go ahead and tell me the high court gives a goddamned shit about free speech. They care only about the right of the elites to hold and keep office:

The decision basically views a candidate’s ability to buy a political office with a private fortune as a freedom of speech question, equating the unrestricted spending of money with the exercise of First Amendment rights. Alito wrote that the provision was unconstitutional because it “imposes an unprecedented penalty on any candidate who robustly exercises” these rights.

Fucking unbelievable.
