When was the last time 80% of America agreed?

I can’t remember. I’m guessing it was when The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Maybe not even then. But Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that 80% of poll respondents disagree with the Supreme Court ruling that allows “unfettered corporate political spending.”

The poll reveals relatively little difference of opinion on the issue among Democrats (85 percent opposed to the ruling), Republicans (76 percent) and independents (81 percent).

I’m going to make another guess here: we will see legislation to reverse this ruling. Further, I’ll bet that even the Republicans vote for it.

  1. Neither unions, nor corporations were meant to be granted rights by the 1st Amendment. And spending money doesn’t equal speech either. Sometimes the Supreme Courts screws up. That shouldn’t be a novel concept for a conservative.
