"The first decade of this century opened with the Supreme
Court's coup in Bush v. Gore, and closed with a putsch granting
First Amendment rights to huge corporations to spend as much as
they want to buy an election. At the rate the Court is going,

marry one. Until then, I'm afraid we'll just have to settle for
being fucked by them. "
--Burt Neuborne, in a debate
with Floyd Abrams on Citizens United in The
