Law Of The Land vs. Doing The Right Thing

'(CNN) - The Supreme Court has blocked enforcement of a ruling by Montana's highest court that upholds the state's century-long restrictions on independent political spending by outside groups in election campaigns'.

'Opponents of the restrictions say they conflict with the Supreme Court's landmark free speech ruling in 2010 that gave corporations greater power to spend their own money in federal elections'.

'The case is American Tradition Partnership Inc. v. Bullock (11A762)'.

What was that Conservative Mantra of 'legislating from the Bench'?

This in no way forces politicians to spend but Congress has become so weak and polorized, that they are unable to pass ANY legislation re:campaign finances.

To para phrase the Capital One commercial - 'Which politician is in your wallet'?
