    Sounds too simple to me. How I hope it's that easy.

    It could be a game of whack-a-mole w/ congress and Scrotus, but their original ruling stated it was the campaign finance law itself that they were striking down and challenged Congress to write a better one.

    I'm really shocked more politicians aren't standing up against the stimulus. It's not needed. The first stimulus came during mass shut down.

    If they shut the economy down then it's a different story

    It needs to be locked down. 4,000 people are dying a day. A day, dude. Think about that in terms of your neighborhood, your town, the schools you went to. If you subtracted 4,000 people a day, 28,000 a week, there would be zero people there in short order.

    And who’s dying? The old and unhealthy, mostly. People who don’t need an extra nail because it will be the final one in the coffin.

    It is the USSC that is the issue here. Citizens' United is the USSC legislating from the bench. If anything the court is more conservative now than then.
