campaign finance reform overturned

i have reservations about the recent supreme court decision that declares the mccain-feingold campaign finance reform bill unconstitutional, thus allowing corporations and unions to make unlimited donations to campaigning politicians.

the case hinged on whether the 1st amendment of the corporations/unions was being infringed upon. but does a corporation/union as an entity, not the collection of citizens, have this protection? to me it seems that the ability to pour an unchecked number of dollars into campaign coffers leads down a path of corruption and the drowning out of the individual voices.

i doubt these contributions will be made to the upstart challenger looking to unseat the well known, national party backed incumbent. so i guess we'll just to wait and see what happens during the next campaign cycle but i fear that any and all contributions will be going to the large party, establishment candidates.

which essentially means that elections can be bought.
