DEMOCRATS: The political system is rigged in favor of the wealthy. We need to limit their campaign contributions in order to maintain a reasonably fair and equal system.
SUPREME COURT: Political contributions are free speech under most circumstances. The more, the better. You can’t limit them in the manner you want.
DEMOCRATS: OK, if we can’t limit their contributions, we can reduce their spending indirectly by imposing a wealth tax. How ’bout them apples! If at first you don’t succeed, try something more extreme!
SUPREME COURT: That’s not constitutional, either. Tough luck, guys.
