Gross conflation of 'we warned you foreign political spending would happen' and 'the SCOTUS citizens united ruling is wrong.' Seriously, did anyone miss the 'Congress shall make no law' bit of the 1st amendment? If you don't want foreign spending then you can't just trample all over the Constitution for political expedience, you have to actually pass a law that addresses it directly instead of taking the easy way out. There are ways to have real campaign finance reform without restricting speech. PS Arguments that corporations should not be allowed to have freedom of speech or that spending money is not a form of speech really do not belong here.
