There are lots of things that come to mind when I ask what is money. Some may answer its the piece of paper or coin. The greenback or the euro are examples. Money is a medium of exchange. It makes commerce easier. Money is essentially the value of what you produce or have. It eliminates the barter system which would be
necessary without the advent of money as idea of people. some may answer that money is property. You own money like you own your house or your food. So maybe its property.
Ohh no.
Not according to the Supreme Court. Money is speech.
didnt you know that? I have heard that money talks but this is completely insane. And the best part is they
don't even try to rationalize it anymore, they simply point to
starie decisis when its convenient. They list precedent and
thats it. This courts decision assumes you will read the
THOUSANDS OF PAGES in 30 court decision from the past 230 years. And if
Clarence Thomas is
writing the decision its more like back to 1215. Why are
company's granted rights? People make
company's so it cant be about their creators. Its a perverse reading of history.
And for my last rant. The supreme court drew this insane decision from a point that
wasn't even brought before it. That
isn't even judicial review. They just do what they want and get away with it because of
their robes. The decision said, "Our practice ‘permit[s] review of an issue not pressed [below] so long as it has been passed upon . . . .’" In this decision they do what they want and the
American people have to deal with it. This activist conservative court should be stopped.
Really what should happen is that the congress and the president agree to simply
disregard this decision.
That's right, Jefferson and Jackson did it. I would say
that's starie decisis enough. Just ignore this
blatantly unconstitutional
interpretation.
And Justice
Alito, we will see if this court opinion will open the flood gates. You simply mouthing something at the state of the union devoid of facts of the effects of policy really makes a lot of sense.
