On January 21, 2010, Justice Samuel Alito and the rest of the right-wing majority on the Roberts Supreme Court opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate spending in elections, reversing more than 100 years of established law and changing the face of American democracy.
Five days later, President Obama rightly criticized the Court's 5-4 decision in Citizens United v. FEC during his State of the Union Address. Based on his body language, Justice Alito didn't think the criticism of his and his colleagues' audacious judicial activism was warranted.
It's not only this decision by the Roberts Court that deserves criticism, but a host of others in which the Court's conservative block has, with a one-vote majority, rewritten the law at the expense of Americans' rights.
Please watch our new video, and then take action to help correct the Court.
