Biden endorses bill to disclose Super PAC donors

This could work in the Pubs favor... unless he uses the FBI to target Americans that donate to the Pubs.

 

Oh in that case I expect 50 pub votes in the Senate and this bill to pass easily.

Somehow I doubt that will be the case.

 

I'm not so sure all democrats will, either. The level of corruption in Washington is mind-boggling. Citizens United has only made matters worse. If it passes, it will be appealed, and this SCOTUS will find it unconstitutional using the same warped logic Kennedy used in CU (and Blackmun used in Roe v. Wade in 1973. If a result is desired, the Justices are intelligent enough to find a rationale for it, no matter how tenuous.)

 

Burisma may not like this.

 

Lol... The RINOs might have ulterior motives to vote for or against it.

Even if the law passed, odds are it would get struck down.

 

Works for me so long as there are no cute exceptions that seem to favor one party.

 

Hint: exactly zero Republicans will vote for this.

 

Bernie Sanders was ahead of his time

 

No one should be against this bill.

But I can think of about 535 people who might be.

 

"Let Democratic candidates compete with each other based on their ideas and grassroots support, not on the kind of billionaire super PAC money they can attract. Let us try to create a Democratic Party which is truly democratic.” - Bernie Sanders

 

One of the many reasons we need 4 more SCOTUS justices.

 

I've got a better idea. How about outlawing PACs to begin with? Make politicians actually beholden to their constituents instead of special interest groups.

 

Any law to outlaw, disclose donors or lessen the power of PACs would be shot down by the right leaning SCOTUS

 

Dems have plenty of Dark Money sources too. I am all for this and support it 100%. But not just during the election season but every day, every year. Anything less and there is a giant loophole.
A good read on how influential Dark Money is, is Dark Money by Jane Meyer

 

John Roberts laughs at your idea.

 

I would imagine there are 535 people in Congress that do as well.

Who knew Mel Brooks would hit it so close to the truth (subsitute "Congress" for "The Roman Senate")
