This is Dred-Scott-level fuck-uppery.
Another one from The Greatest Hits of SCOTUS:
Buck v. Bell
"This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."
-- Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, Citizens United v. FEC, 2010.
