Free speech is a Constitutionally protected right of American citizens. Nevertheless, to equate money with speech is to make Orwell's "Animal Farm" a reality: "All men are created equal, but some are more equal than others." The perverse equating of money with speech is compounded by the concept of corporate personhood.
In addition, there is significant evidence supporting Putin's scheme to undermine democracy by having Russian oligarchs pumping money into the political systems of Western democracies. They give millions to such organizations such as the NRA, which in turn funnels it into the GOP. Is it any wonder why Republicans are opposed to Campaign Finance Reform? Why bite the hand that is feeding you?
Remember when the cry of the right was "activist Supreme Court". It was just the same deception a pick-pocket uses as he removes your wrist watch.
