When we looked at the recent (2010) decision handed down from the Roberts Supreme Court, we were essentially looking at the Constitution and asking "who is a person?" This decision holds that corporations and political organizations are "people" according to our founding document and therefore have freedom of speech, including "speaking" with their money.
What are you thoughts on this recent shift our political system. What do you see are the pros and cons of the Citizens United impact. Do you see an impact in the midterms races? Do you think it will change any election outcomes? For better or worse?
