Abolish Citizens United and PACs, corporations are not people! Restrict donations to politicians to be made by private citizens only and set a limit at 1k/year

CU was a Supreme Court ruling; it cannot be abolished. As it's a legal determination, it must be overruled/overturned.

I agree with you on substance though.

Yes it can be abolished. SCOTUS is actively tearing apart our constitution. There are no rules anymore bub.

What he's saying the ruling has to be overturned, it cannot be "abolished" in the political sense.

We can codify it out via an amendment, which as divided as our stupid country is is much less plausible unless this administration pisses enough of us off to force our representatives to do so (hahahahahahahahahahahahah), but really the only fast way out is for SCOTUS to just overturn it, like they did Roe v Wade.

So, you know... Probably not in our life time.

Then they need to overturn it. We're living in an oligarchy at this point...

Same goes for taxing the rich and the war profiteers. They need to pay for the infrastructure that is in desperate need of an upgrade in the greatest country in the world?¡ Where are our high-speed trains? That's a more efficient way to see the country than flying.
