Opening the Flood Gates

As the President was addressing the mistrust which American citizens have shown towards Washington, Obama took a strict stance against Lobbyists. Amongst the very standard arguments for reform against interest groups, Obama took a much appreciated stab at the Supreme Court's recent decision to remove caps on corporate campaign contributions. Not only do I strongly agree and encourage more of these criticism, but I absolutely love that all justices are sitting right in front of the president.....straight faced.

Not completely straight-faced! Did you see the guy in the second row on the end, he was shaking his head and saying something nasty... I can't remember which one he is

No it was Alito. He was mouthing "Not True" as if he didn't rule corporations can spend what they want on campaigns.
