Why would only the left hate it? What does the right like about it?

It's amusing to read the whacko rhetoric of the left compared to the quiet logic of those on the side of the constitution. I think the left is starting to go off the deep end again.

The pathetic part is that you have no idea of what just happened to what was left of democracy and the people choosing their represenatives. Democracy was an experiment and we are witnessing the failure of it. You put up a stupid smiley face. Tell me, is ignorance as blissfull as they say it is? I wouldn't know.

The daily caller is right wing. They're just not partisan grass eaters out to pasture like certain other outlets that claim to be fair and balanced.

As I stated earlier, allowing corporations that can be controlled by foreign and possibly dubious, flesh and blood human beings is a national security threat.

The Congress can take away the right of the SC to judge a case like this. It is within their power as I posted earlier.

Furthermore the Justices that allowed this blatant and intentional attack on our democracy CAN & SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.

Americans it's time to really look at ourselves in the mirror:

If a President can be impeached because of his subordinates uncontrollable libidos but Justices that have de-facto sold America down the proverbial river to Chinese and Mid East slave owne,...., er,..., our global trading partners then we deserve disenfranchisement.

I say IMPEACH!
It's gonna be tough getting either a constitutional amendment or impeachment proceedings started, given that Democrats don't have the super-majorities necessary. Maybe Obama could declare a state of emergency so he can rule by decree. That way, he can rewrite the constitution to include health care reform and other items on his wish list, and supersede judicial rulings without going through the difficulty of an impeachment.
