Raw Story: In the wake of the Citizens United ruling that allowed for unlimited and undisclosed corporate political spending, many progressives called for a constitutional amendment to overturn it. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is one of them, and he’s not impressed by arguments that such an effort is too time-consuming or complicated. “Yes, it’s hard to amend the constitution, but it’s been done 27 times before so I feel our chances are pretty good,” he told attendees at the Take Back the American Dream conference in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
Republican judges appointed by Republican presidents gave us the democracy killer that is Citizens United. So this is just another illustration that Democrats are trying to save our democracy while Republicans are about the business of selling it.
