Well, I guess the Chief Justice is just saying that the Supreme Court justices are better heard than seen.

For what they are, that is.

Me? - I want to look at em' when they talk.

So, I guess I disagree with the Chief.

Obama exhibited such a lack of class and decorum at the State of the Union that it was disgraceful. The puppet needs to get puppeteers who understand protocol.

You believe that "corporations [should have] a free-speech right to spend unlimited sums to elect or defeat candidates for office"?

Then I guess a childish, immature outburst of "you lie" within the halls of the same congress is classy . . . ?

No but I expect the President to be educated enough not to "call out" the Supreme court during a State of the Union address. Delusianne, you are an intelligent individual. I imagine you must wince when this POTUS makes such gauche missteps.

Well, it wasnt, but back on your own topic, do you agree with the S. Ct. on unfettered corporate contributions?

Somehow, based on reading your posts, I don't see you as any authority on things such as *class* and *decorum* at the State of the Union speeches or much of anything else.
