5 reasons to fix the Supreme Court now

The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling (McCutcheon v. FEC) in favor of an Alabama tycoon who sued the federal government because he was not allowed to spend as much as he wanted to elect  Republican candidates in 2012, is a wake-up call.  In America today, government on all levels is on the auction block.  The only votes that count come with a price tag that puts responsible and responsive government out of reach for all but the super-rich. 

Voters need to take back the representative democracy we inherited.  Having failed to protect it at the polls, we are now at a tipping point.  Our best hope is an informed and engaged electorate.  Unfortunately, the message of the McCutcheon decision is clear: holding regular elections is no  guarantee our constitutional rights – or that the Constitution itself will be respected.
