Today the Supreme Court ruled that campaign contributions should be able to flow like the waters of Niagara Falls. By a 5-4 vote the Supreme Court found that suppressing the ridiculous amount of political TV ads was unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court ruling puts the future of the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002 into serious question. It once again opens the flood gates for Big Business to pour even more money towards political ads. It’s another huge score for Big Business in the new John Roberts/puppet of George Bush led Supreme Court.

With the Democrats in control of Congress, we are seeing the legislative branch become less relevant in our historically ‘checks and balances’ system. The judicial branch is serving the executive branch and Bush is merely waiving his hand at Congress to get lost.

While the Democrats slight edge in Congress doesn’t equate to much power, the conservatives slight edge in the Supreme Court makes them extremely powerful. In the Supreme Court it only takes a 5-4 vote and there is nobody to overrule them.

So if you didn’t think you saw enough political TV ads for the 2006 elections, get ready for 2008! Plop down on the couch and get ready to be bombarded with bullshit and wastefulness.
