The next step in electoral corruption

For those of you who are freaked out about the influence of money in politics: Good morning!

Republican National Committee files brief in 4th Circuit Danielczyk case today arguing that for-profit corporations have the constitutional right to make campaign contributions directly to candidates.

That’s right. If this succeeds we shouldn’t even bother to hold elections anymore. We’ll just let the most profitable corporations hire politicians directly. President of the United States will only be middle management, of course, but it will look good on the resume and be good preparation for the executive suite.
