U.S. Supreme Court strikes down campaign spending cap in Ted Cruz case

Jose Luis Magana, FRE / AP

The ruling is a victory for conservatives seeking to chip away at campaign spending limits under the First Amendment. Critics of the ruling argue that the limits help prevent corruption. “The ability to lend money to a campaign is especially important for new candidates and challengers,” Roberts wrote. “As a practical matter, personal loans will sometimes be the only way for an unknown challenger with limited connections to frontload campaign spending. And early spending — and thus early expression — is critical to a newcomer’s success.”

Leak puts the trust critical to Supreme Court deliberations at risk: Ted DiadiunSupreme Court justices have taken an oath to look at every side of issues, alongside others who have taken a similar oath. They can be persuaded by their colleagues, they can change their minds – but they must have utter, complete trust that this deliberative process is done in a safe space. Laws can be made, revised and unmade. It's the nature of our democratic process. Loss of trust in and by our foundational institutions could, sadly, be far more durable, writes Ted Diadiun in his column today. Democrats want there to be distrust in our judicial system…. It makes it easier for them to tear down the entire system like they want Psst. A sitting Justice has a wife that was part of a coup attempt of a duly elected president. Scotus has no credibility as long and Thomas sits on the bench. If the wife is a traitor, bet he is too

Chicagoans plan more demonstrations, marches for abortion rights over US Supreme Court leakMore abortion rights protests are planned Saturday in Chicago over the leaked draft opinion indicated the Supreme Court may overturn Roe vs. Wade. What is the point of demonstrating in democratic states and cities? It is the f*** republicans! Should go to North Dakota ‘where the birds would not stop’! Or West Virginia or something like that! Enforce stop frisk search rather on feet, driving. riding a bike. So what if it’s an inconvenience. Be proactive not reactive. Surveillance footage shows balaclava-clad men drive up to the gas station and watch Dixon pump gas into his car before leaping out with assault rifles Even more important than these demonstrations is that every eligible voter needs to know what their elected official vote REALLY is on ROE vs WADE and make sure they vote accordingly. Absolutely EVERYONE: Let your VOICES be heard and your VOTE-count.

Clarence Thomas says abortion leak has changed Supreme CourtWASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Clarence Thomas says the Supreme Court has been changed by the shocking leak of a draft opinion earlier this month. The opinion suggests the court is poised to overturn the right to an abortion recognized nearly 50 years ago in Roe v. Wade. The conservative Thomas, who joined the court in 1991 and has long called for Roe v. Wade to be overturned, described the leak as an unthinkable breach of trust. The Supreme Court was changed when nominees (Kavanaugh, Barrett, Gorsuch) blatantly lied in order to secure themselves a seat on the bench. Who can trust the highest court in the land when it is being run by blatantly dishonest people?!? ImpeachKavanaugh ImpeachConeyBarrett imagine caring about anything Clarence Thomas says. How about his wife that is a crazy nut
