Something to think about …. “Think really hard …. Democratic Candidates”!!

DON’T STAY HOME

Here’s Why the 2016 Presidential Election is So Crucial for Liberals and Everything We’ve Worked For

By Allen Clifton

Let me start off by listing a few numbers for everyone:

78

80

80

83

Those are the ages that Supreme Court Justices Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsberg will be when the next president is sworn in, respectively.

The next president we elect (assuming he or she serves two terms) could very well be the individual who selects four Supreme Court Justices.

Yes, our next president could single-handedly shift the balance of power in the Supreme Court one way or the other for the next 20+ years.

The next president might very well select four Supreme Court Justices.

For those who might be struggling to understand just how important it is that a Democrat is in the White House for the next several years, let’s just run through a few issues that would drastically change the scope of this country had the rulings gone differently:

If Republicans as we know them today had stacked the Supreme Court over 40 years ago, abortion would likely be illegal today.

If Democrats had been able to choose enough justices, it’s very likely the Citizens United ruling would have gone against big money in politics.

If Republicans had a larger majority of chosen justices than they do now, it’s likely the Affordable Care Act is overturned.

If the GOP had selected even one more conservative justice over the last few years, it’s very likely that today same-sex marriage bans would still be legal.

How much damage could Republicans do to our voting rights with a Supreme Court loaded with at least 7 conservative justices?

The list just goes on and on.

Something to think about …. “Poisoning: Punished by Law …. “!!

~~January 29, 2016~~

RAMIFICATIONS OF WATER POISONING

There are several specific topics implied by this graphic.

Poisoning anyone, in any way, is a crime punished by law and entails jail time.

Corporations aren’t people … “Citizens United”.

It’s healthier to consume products that are local grown.

Seems that #ArrestGovSnyder” is right on target.

The Snyder administration quietly trucked in water to state buildings in January of 2015 – ten months prior to Governor Snyder publicly admitting there was reason for concern in Flint, according to a document obtained by Progress Michigan.

Something to think about … “Citizens United”!!

~~February 1, 2015~~ 

Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, No. 08-205, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a U.S. constitutional law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations.

The United States Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.

In the case, the conservative lobbying group Citizens United wanted to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or “BCRA”). Section 203 of BCRA defined an “electioneering communication” as a broadcast, cable, or satellite communication that mentioned a candidate within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary, and prohibited such expenditures by corporations and unions.

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia held that §203 of BCRA applied and prohibited Citizens United from advertising the film Hillary: The Movie in broadcasts or paying to have it shown on television within 30 days of the 2008 Democratic primaries.

The Supreme Court reversed this decision, striking down those provisions of BCRA that prohibited corporations (including nonprofit corporations) and unions from making independent expenditures and “electioneering communications”. The majority decision overruled Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce (1990) and partially overruled McConnell v. Federal Election Commission (2003).

The Court, however, upheld requirements for public disclosure by sponsors of advertisements (BCRA §201 and §311). The case did not involve the federal ban on direct contributions from corporations or unions to candidate campaigns or political parties, which remain illegal in races for federal office.

~Keith Olbermann on on “Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission”~

Almost prophetic. Uploaded in 2010. What has happened in five years?

~Uploaded on Jan 21, 2010~

Today, the Supreme Court, of Chief Justice John Roberts, in a decision that might actually have more dire implications than “Dred Scott v Sandford,” declared that because of the alchemy of its 19th Century predecessors in deciding that corporations had all the rights of people, any restrictions on how these corporate-beings spend their money on political advertising, are unconstitutional.

In short, the first amendment — free speech for persons — which went into affect in 1791, applies to corporations, which were not recognized as the equivalents of persons until 1886. In short, there are now no checks on the ability of corporations or unions or other giant aggregations of power to decide our elections.

None. They can spend all the money they want. And if they can spend all the money they want — sooner, rather than later — they will implant the legislators of their choice in every office from President to head of the Visiting Nurse Service.
