Supreme Court Covered In Giant Dollar Signs

Brilliant work.

To mark the Citizens United 2nd anniversary, a group called The Other 98 lit up the outside of the Supreme Court with giant dollar signs to send a message: rights are for PEOPLE, not corporate "persons."

This time in the light of day:

Toss the Citizens United decision out, but make sure it applies to unions as well.  There should be limits on political spending by both corporations AND unions.

Totally grand exercise. Hope no one was arrested. Speaking the truth can do that to you.

Americans favor Supreme Court term limits - Reuters/Ipsos poll

Most Americans would support imposing a term limit on the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices, who now serve for life, a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll has found in the aftermath of major rulings by the court on Obamacare and gay marriage.

Limiting terms would be difficult, requiring an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Congress shows no signs of taking up the idea, though Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz has suggested the possibility of justices being voted out of office.

Support for the 10-year term limit proposed by the poll was bipartisan, with 66 percent saying they favored such a change while 17 percent supported life tenure.

The two big rulings in June were widely welcomed by liberals. Nevertheless, 66 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of independents said they favored the 10-year term limit idea, according to the poll.
