Rep.-elect Don Leonard of Ohio said Tuesday that “senior members of the Democratic House” have threatened to make his life “a living hell” unless he backs, without conditions, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be the next Speaker of the House.

Does citizen’s united need a constitutional ammendment to overturn?
I guess the ruling is that 1st amendement money is speech. But that means money is lies, terrorism, oppression, fraud, fascism or abridgement of other constitutional rights. We already view “yelling fire in a crowded theater” to not be protected speech. Why should well funded “The theater is completely fine and greatest theater in history of time” lie be protected speech?
They overturned Roe just because they felt like it. “Settled law” is now utterly meaningless. You just need the right justices.
There is already a proposed constitutional amendment in the works to do just that, among various other measures at the state level, and it has already been ratified by twenty-five of the necessary thirty-eight states necessary to pass. Here’s the text of the proposed amendment:
thank you,
Amendments are not vetoable, but 2/3rds of both chambers required to propose. Then 38 states need both legislatures to vote for it. (50%). No governor veto.
The non binding state resolutions are promising, but ratification happens only after congress proposes amendment.
This is significantly related to the Israel first rule over America issue, and congressional leadership devoted to perpetuating it. Money failed this mid term, and most Americans understand Israel’s war on Iran is a US collapse threat. But unlimited Israel money still wins/keeps some politicians for them.
Quite right; I meant to say “ready to ratify.” Fortunately the site gets it right. Thank you for the correction.
