It was just a bad idea. As "educated" as these judges are, they blew this one. In their defense, they probably didn't see what was coming.

He makes some good points, but it's going to take a LOT of effort for the common man to get the train back on the tracks.

Since the Citizen's United decision was rendered in 2010 (a disaster for our country), lobby money has trumped the voters interests.
