It's time to undo the damage caused by #CitizensUnited.".
SCOTUS can rule but what is their enforcement mechanism if states decide to ignore the ruling? What does SCOTUS have but other pieces of paper.
If SCOTUS tries to repeal State Powers enshrined in the constitution they risk State Supreme Courts taking the unprecedented step of finding such a ruling illegitimate. Opening the floodgates for State Supreme Courts to determine the legitimacy of every SCOTUS ruling individually.
It would massively undermine their already waning authority.
They’ve already corrupted and ignored the constitution dozens of times, too…
Do you really think a piece of paper is going to stop the rich from finishing taking control??
Yes but this is fundamentally different.

Well then let’s hope they make such a stupid move. They already do not deserve their authority.
