Bob McCarty Writes

Gotta love Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito!  During President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech tonight, he was caught on camera shaking his head in disagreement and then mouthing the words, “Not true.”

Justice Alito’s negative response came after President Obama said, “With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the flood gates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections.”

He was, of course, referring to the Court’s Jan. 21 ruling in the case of Citizens United v. FEC when the Court rendered the McCain-Feingold campaign finance legislation void and made it clear that corporations have First Amendment free speech rights that translate into the ability to contribute to political campaigns.
