Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010)

[RogerCooper]

Just re-read your own Wiki page, it's a indictment not a conviction.

Technically it was an Alford plea.

Technically it was an Alford plea.

No, he made a pre-trial diversion agreement that led to the dismissal.

Since when has Mankind EVER avoided abusing the obvious (or resisted temptation in any form)?

Well, both of my kids are part of mankind, and they have resisted the temptation. (When I was young, I didn't - had sex with my girlfriend a lot prior to meeting my wife, and thankfully there was no pregnancy from that, although we were mostly protected - but even there, I tried to protect myself. I've heard stories of people who've had like, 4-5 abortions, it just makes you wonder if they've heard of birth control).

Believe it or not Richard, there are actually people out there who believe that the best, easiest and happiest route is to get married and just enjoy having sex with your partner. It solves like .... a dozen serious problems, all in one fell swoop.

Getting married isn't the problem. The best man at my wedding got married at a time in his life when he wanted to. The problem wasn't getting married. It was getting divorced from the B*<ill-tempered dog of a woman>*ch he married - AFTER it was too late and she had her hooks in him. I agree that a good marriage solves a lot of problems. Problem is that a bad marriage causes even MORE problems.
