Think Progress: The Supreme Court just announced a 5-4 decision striking down Montana’s ban on corporate money in elections. The decision was handed down without hearing oral argument on the case, meaning that the five conservative justices were not even open to hearing arguments that their election-buying decision in Citizens United might have been wrongly decided.
This was of course, the five Republican appointed, conservative justices telling Montana they can't ban corruption in their own state (even though this law had been on the books for over 100 years). The other four justices voted to allow Montana to continue to work to get corruption out of government. If you're a fan of corruption, vote Republican. If you're not, and you don't want Republican presidents appointing Supreme Court justices that will make corruption legal and sell our democracy to the monied interests, you should vote for the Democrats.
Additionally, the Republican party is corrupt at it's core. It's an institutional aim of the GOP to enable corruption in government. The Democrats need to say so.
