The Supreme Court entrenched corruption in the federal political system when it removed limits on donations. The result was:

— The fossil fuel industry is apparently paying off Republicans — in a practice legalized by Republicans on the Supreme Court — to make sure Congress never passes legislation to hold them accountable for all the death and destruction they’ve caused by lying about climate change for the past 50 years. Here, for example, are the biggest recipients of their largesse, according to OpenSecrets: Romney, Mitt (R-UT) $8,291,262; Cornyn, John (R-TX) $4,678,062; Cruz, Ted (R-TX) $4,138,421; McConnell, Mitch (R-KY) $2,852,107; McCarthy, Kevin (R-CA) $2,581,832; Hutchison, Kay Bailey (R-TX) $2,332,021; Inhofe, James M (R-OK) $2,320,139; Pearce, Steve (R-NM) $2,236,714; Barton, Joe (R-TX) $2,211,987; Brady, Kevin (R-TX) $2,087,396; Scalise, Steve (R-LA) $1,847,013; Murkowski, Lisa (R-AK) $1,792,602. If you haven’t yet noticed the trend, just check out the party affiliation of each

The Republican Congress and Senate is bought and sold. I would have liked to see what comes from the Health Insurance Industry and Big Pharma. I suspect a similar pattern.

Another Hartmann revelation.

    True dat... but a Hartman revelation? Only if no one else was paying attention the last 50 years.

    The U.S. is an oligarchy. It always has been sonewhat, but it's reached absurd levels in recent decades.

    Citizen's United was a game changer, but the biggest change was really that now they can bribe politicians and Supreme Clowns right out in the open.
