      They’re also part of the same class. Their party color and public beliefs are just like clothing. Trump wanted to run as a democrat but they wouldn’t have him, so he went Republican.

          You’re right, “repeal” is the wrong word but the right concept. The Citizens United ruling could be reversed by another Supreme Court ruling, or made moot on a state-by-state basis like Hawaii’s approach.

            Or a national legislation, sure. Or an end run by an activist FEC. Or, or, or…

            I don’t see a coalition of politicians ready to do this. Even the Hawaii case is heavily overstated, as its DOA in the courts. Like, I love to see the attempt, but I’m not bullish on the governor standing ground.

              We’ll have to see how Hawaii plays out - if it actually does get overruled then that becomes a valid argument, but simply dismissing as “DOA in the courts” isn’t.

                I’m just waiting to see if it gets enforced at all.
