The bipartisan leaders

"I think the Supreme Court decisions today are a big win for the First Amendment and a step in the right direction." — House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.

"With today's monumental decision, the Supreme Court took an important step in the direction of restoring the First Amendment rights of these groups by ruling that the Constitution protects their right to express themselves about political candidates and issues up until Election Day." — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

"With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics," said President Obama in a statement. "It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans... That's why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision."

And just where in the hell are you going to find these bipartisan leaders, Mr President? - Shirlden leader of the pissed off cynics.
