7. Citizens United

is what happens when you go along with putting corporate yes men on the bench. The Democrats are as much to blame for this as the Republicans because they were accomplices in the commission of the crime. Even worse, they knuckle to Republicans and vote to put extreme rightist on the court and when they are a minority, but when they have the majority they propose only center right candidates to avoid offending the Republicans, the majority of whom don't vote for their nominees anyway.

Didn't he raise more money from Wall Street and the Bankers than any other candidate in history? Just two days ago he was in Greenwich, CT giving a speech at a $ 30,000 per plate dinner.
