Now the United States Supreme Court has said to the state of Montana that the facts don’t matter. They’re not going to listen to the history of Montana, and they’re not going to look at the history of the past two-and-a-half years of unlimited corporate money coming into our elections in Montana and elsewhere around the nation. —- James Madison spoke of corporations as a “necessary evil” subject to proper limitations and guards. Thomas Jefferson said he hoped to “crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations.” And for more than a century, we’ve recognized that corporations have no role in our elections. So the radical action here is by these five justices, who once again refused to hear the facts, refused to look at the history, and now are telling the state of Montana that their century-old law should now be no longer enforced. —-
