On Corporations: "Simply not true" that companies will bankroll campaigns

Now, normally the justices express no emotion durin the president's speech--no applauding, no sniggering, no eye-rolling. But Obama's mention of the campaign finance decision--Obama said American elections would be "bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities"--caused Associate Justice Samuel Alito's expression to go dark as he shook his head and appeared to say "Simply not true."

In the wake of the court's recent decision, Democrats are hustling to craft legislation that would limit corporate political advertising --especially for corporations with foreign connections.

If such legislation is ever signed into law, it'll be fun to watch as it goes to the Supreme Court (which it surely would)--especially to see what Justice Alito would have to say about it.
