“I’m happy to trace this issue back to the founding fathers, but Bush v Gore was the beginning of the end in my opinion.”
I share similar sentiments except with Citizens United V FEC instead of Bush V Gore. I can’t imagine any meaningful change without removing private money from politics and I don’t see how anyone can realistically remove private money when it’s ruled to be protected by the first amendment…The only avenues I can think of involve packing the court or passing a constitutional amendment. Packing the court would require only slightly less cooperation from congress than an Amendment.
That’s why I only use locally sourced all-natural charcoal in my kitchen stove.
