Another in a long line of supreme court decsions that weakens the voice and actions of the people of the united states. Since it's inception the supreme court has used it's authority to turn seeminly progressive constitutional amendments, such as the 14th, into laws protecting corporate America. For more information to anyone interested in how the supreme court has tried destroyed the rights of the people read A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn.
