“Congress has weighed in on the issue, as well, failing last year to pass the DISCLOSE Act, which would have reversed the Citizens United decision.”

How exactly can “Congress” reverse a Supreme Court ruling by enacting a law? It is the norm that the SCOTUS decides on the constitutionality of laws, so passing another “law” ain’t gonna cut it.

You know, just like Congress cannot “reverse” Roe v Wade and make abortion illegal.

progressivism is to progress as pedophilia is to childcare – - all about power, control, and screwing the weak.

It’s also a practical matter. Disclosure requirements would politicize what should be a straightforward contracting process.

Erm, so we are supposing that federal contracts never go to campaign donors, and that corruption is not a problem? When did that become the conservative position? An EO is probably not the way to do it, but, seriously?

Feingold’s signature accomplishment of his trivial, icky life has been eviscerated, and he sits in the corner, pulling his pud, threatening the people outside the asylum window that he’s still gonna get them some day.

Perfect videos for ads, if he gets the risible idea to run for the Senate.

"— they lost in the Supreme Court, they lost in Congress, they lost at the FEC, so now the president is just going to do it by edict.”

Now everyone knows what he was talking about...

Free Speech is fine…for liberals. Anyone opposing the liberal viewpoint? Not so much.
