I don't see us disagreeing on the effects of the Citizens United ruling of 2010. It made things worse, if one doesn't like an oligarchy? This is also a reason to disdain a political system, where the "Rule of law," by John Adams, simply ends up being the Rule by Lawyers. We need a change but to what and how? I am all ears and am merely one more peasant who likes the idea of a better government system-better for the middle class.

No, bribery is illegal and what those corporations did was not illegal. And why is it not illegal? Why are super mega ultra rich people and corporations allowed to give as much money as they like to politicians for their election campaigns? Because of the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision. And why did the Supreme Court decide that way? Because right wing judges were appointed by right wing Republicans to be on that court. Today the supreme court is even more right wing than it was then because, although Republicans have lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections, nevertheless Republican presidents have appointed 6 of the 9 members currently on the Supreme Court, including 3 that were appointed by the only President in American history to opposed the peaceful transfer of power when his term ended.
