Yeah, but do you really want to see a billion dollars worth of attack ads against a candidate (pick any, it will be both parties) during every single commercial break on TV, radio, internet, for two months before an election?

What about the previous 100 years of Supreme Court interpretation to the contrary? Do you not find it a little upsetting this sudden turnaround, with zero precedent?

Do you feel foreign-owned corporations - let's say a corp owned by Saudi oil - should be allowed to pour billions into unregulated campaign ads, with zero restriction, in an attempt to influence our elections?
