Is the Supreme Court even relevant today? It is so packed from time to time that the bias is obvious. And no, I don't believe any ivy league white male can represent my views worth a damn.
For example; the Constitition provides for a citizen's ability to "petition the government for redress" so that collection of twits decided this allows for lobbying. To begin, lobbyists sometimes represent foreign governments, hardly 'citizens'. Corporations have gone global, - citizens? Of what country?
Finally 'redress' is post facto, you may petition the government for something they have ALREADY DONE which you feel was unfair to you. It does not mean that Enron gets invited to the White House to write the new energy bill.
Allowing lobbying and lobbyists was the single most idiotic thing that SCOTUS ever came up with, all it has ever done is provide us with the best Congress money can buy.
