My hunch is this will be oveturned...yeah for Liberty????

Ideology outside of reality and the relations of human beings an systemic forces is destructive to the society at large--just look at Marxism and the Soviet Union for one example...
 
Another example of this is about to be implemented by the Supreme Court--
 
A series of court decisions expected this fall could put the nation on track to return to turn-of-the-century campaign finance laws.

This week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will hear arguments in a case that opponents say could pave the way for political parties to raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, individuals, unions and anything else with a bank account.

Last week, the same court announced it will review Federal Election Commission rules aimed at reining in outside independent groups, after two of its three-judge panels offered differing judgments on them.

Next month, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans will hear arguments in a case that would essentially wipe out the post-Watergate rules against coordination between parties and candidates.

And campaign finance foes and fans are awaiting a U.S. Supreme Court decision freeing corporations to use general treasury funds to finance movies attacking candidates, as well as a D.C. District Court ruling in another case that would permit the national party committees to once again collect “soft money” checks from businesses — a practice that was banned a century ago.

“There is no end in sight. There are a lot of other cases in the pipeline,” said Paul Ryan, an attorney with the Campaign Legal Center. 
 

When did the Roman Republic fall? What would the demise of our Republic look(ed) like?
