So many folks trying to buy this election. Campaign reform needs to be a very real thing.

I can’t remember who, maybe @hurricanexyz.bsky.social, but I recall a thread that tagged Buckley v. Valeo as the original sin. Citizens United is a logical consequence of Buckley

and I'd only say top 10 because there are so many *really* bad ones. Supreme Court jurisprudence is a record of supporting slavery, racist mass murder, child labor, Jim Crow, election theftand I'd only say top 10 because there are so many *really* bad ones.
