Why This Matters
💰 Billionaire democracy completion achieved:
Eliminating coordinated spending limits creates unlimited money pipeline from mega-donors through party committees directly to candidates - making your vote irrelevant compared to billionaire preferences
⚖️ Citizens United 2.0 unleashed:
This case represents the final destruction of 1970s post-Watergate reforms, giving wealthy interests total control over elections while maintaining the fiction of democratic choice
🏛️ Justice Department betrays Congress:
Department of Justice is actively arguing against federal law, refusing to defend campaign finance restrictions in "rare" betrayal of congressional authority to protect wealthy donor interests
⚖️ Congressional power eliminated:
Supreme Court systematically invalidating democratically-enacted campaign finance laws shows how unelected justices can override majority will to serve elite interests
🎭 Democratic facade fully exposed:
When party committees can spend unlimited money in "coordination" with candidates, elections become theater while real power flows through dark money networks invisible to voters
