Montana State Supreme Court sees things clearly

The Montana Supreme Court sees what you and I see and what the Supreme Court can't: Montana High Court Says 'Citizens United' Does Not Apply In Big Sky State State Supreme Court Issues Remarkable Ruling Against Corporate Speech
From the article: “Organizations like WTP that act as a conduit for anonymously spending by others represent a threat to the political marketplace,” wrote Mike McGrath, Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court, for the majority. “Clearly the impact of unlimited corporate donations creates a dominating impact on the political process and inevitably minimizes the impact of individual citizens.” And thank goodness. The whole world hasn't lost its collective mind after all. Now, one down, 49 states to go. It's enough to give one a glimmer of hope, at least. Thank you, Montana State Supreme Court. It's a new year's gift. Link: http://www.alternet.org/story/153623/montana_high_court_says_%27citizens_united%27_does_not_apply_in_big_sky_state
