Battling Citizens United

Resolutions condemning the Supreme Court’s controversial Citizens United ruling have been introduced to the state legislatures of North Carolina, West Virginia, and New Hampshire.

  Raw Story

Seriously? North Carolina and West Virginia? Wow.

More than 350 cities and 11 states have called on Congress to overturn the ruling, according to the advocacy group Public Citizen.

[...]

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and other House Democrats have introduced a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Citizens United ruling. But the proposed amendment, which must be passed by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate, has little chance of being ratified any time soon due to Republican opposition.

Well, of course. How else are Republicans expected to win?
