text: No, you know what's worse than Citizen's United? SCOTUS Buckley v Valeo (1976). That's the ruling that said money is equivalent to speech for political purposes and that it was okay because it would surely never be abused by corporations, oligarchs, or politicans seeking re-election. Well. It was the ruling that made all of the corruption that has now followed even possible in the first place. It's going to take a Constitutional amendment to fix Buckley v Valeo, and what choice have we but to urgently proceed? I still cannot comprehend why my parents' generation let the fascists get away with Buckley v Valeo. What were they even _thinking_?
