It was already bad way before that ruling too. That's not a magic pill...it would be a start. But the Supreme Court doesn't generally change it's mind that quick, so I'd say that ain't gonna happen.
I think step one would be to get all those career politicians OUT of there.
We need to vote them ALL out. One and done. These guys in Washington D.C. aren't geniuses who have become "experts" in anything. They are simply a bunch of people taking full advantage of power.
They need to GO.
I know the argument is that they have "experience" and "knowledge". Bullshit.
The new guys get briefed and are up to speed in a few days. The only people who count for "experience" and "knowledge" would be the Presidents Appointees. Like the Secretary of State for instance.
Congress is supposed to represent the PEOPLE. Not be a bunch of lifetime politicians making bank and stealing money.
It should be one term and DONE. Guy is your Congressman? Then let him serve ONE 2 year term. Then if he wants to, he can run for Senator next time around...or President.
Or better yet...GO the fuck HOME.
We the people still have the power to do this. But we live in a very apathetic age. Not many people give a damn as long as they have their smartphone and Ipad and cable television.
