It's called a plutocracy .... a system built on power and those who hold power.
Whatever it is .... it isn't a democracy.
When people talk about the illegitimacy of democracy under capitalism, this scarecrow and her late husband are why.

How very curious.
It will go down as one of Republicans most favorite rulings and also the worst ruling the scotus has made.... (Insert homer and Bart meme: worst so far.)
