Supreme Court rejects Montana campaign money limits

Corrupt politics is OK w/5 members of the S.Ct
"James Bopp, lead attorney for the corporations, said when he filed the appeal, "If Montana can ban core political speech because of Montana's unique characteristics, free speech will be seriously harmed. Speakers will be silenced because of corruption by others over a century ago."
The Supreme Court summarily ruled for the corporations in a brief opinion and reversed the ruling of the Montana Supreme Court.
The four liberal justices dissented. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote that the court should reconsider the 2010 ruling, or at least its application in this case.
Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock opposed the appeal.
" As Montana's history attests, corporate independent expenditures can corrupt," he wrote in a brief filed with the Supreme Court. "No state in the union has detailed a more compelling threat of corruption by corporate campaign expenditures than Montana."
