Public financing = government representing public interests

1. This SCOTUS would probably find publicly financed elections unconstitutional.

Not to mention, even with PF'ed elections, the corporate ads would still continue under the current ruling. I'm not sure what is gained.



ETA: That's why this decision is so fucked. Publicly financed elections, formerly the answer, is now potentially meaningless.

2. exactly why corporations...

...need to be removed from "people" status.

3. The SCOTUS just ruled that they are. Only an Amendment would change that.

(Or a different court in the future)


Having a Constitutional Convention opens the door for many unseemly things to happen to the Constitution not related to corp. personhood.
