Moron of the Month – January 2010
Moron of the Month – January 2010 – Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia & Thomas
The conservative wing of the Supreme Court that thinks judging on the Supreme Court is a ‘political opportunity’ is the Moron of the Month for January. They started their year off by trashing decades worth of limits and controls on corporations from participating in and leveraging the political process.
Why would they do this? Of course they did this because they know that big business favors the conservative Republican party – the party whose presidents nominated them. They did it, just like they decided the 2000 election between Bush (Moron) and Gore.
So, now, we as a country of free and democratic people, can no longer rely on at least one branch of government being unbiased and true to the job they are appointed. Now, even the Supreme Court is political. How pathetic and unfortunate is that? How sad are we becoming as a more and more divided nation – where political power can now be tied to the vast billions big corporations can spend to get their candidates elected.
Thanks Alito and friends! You guys are true morons! Most of this country has lost respect for you.

It is not respect that matters (The Court is appointed for life, so that opinions don’t impede the work they do)
this is not moron of the month.
If the liberal controlled Executive Branch and the liberal controlled Legislative Branch of government disagrees with the Supreme Court’s decision, the answer to them and the execution of the change wanted is simple, direct and constitutional: Pass a law and the supreme court must uphold it, if found to be constitutional. If the law is not within our constitution, it has no place in America, regardless of opinion and emotion.

Its not as simple as just passing a law that the Supreme Court must uphold. The Supreme Court has decided that the Constitution itself allows corporations to make political contributions. This is scary, and goes against previous court interpretations going back a hundred years. It appears that this court is bent on distorting previous laws and the Constitution to say whatever they want. It is odd to me that any American could twist things in favor of allowing Corporations to have more control than they already have. Very scary.
