Floodgates will be open to foreign corporations to contribute money to US political campaigns.
That's not true. The court did not deal with that law. "Foreign companies are already prohibited from influencing American campaigns. The current legal prohibitions on foreign involvement in elections are quite specific, and prohibit a foreign national from directly or indirectly contributing to a candidate or party, or paying for a broadcast, cable or satellite communication which refers to a federal candidate in the period before an election ('electioneering communications'). Furthermore, FEC regulations already prohibit a foreign national from direct, control, or indirectly participating in the decision-making process of any corporation, labor union, or political committee in their election-related activities." So it's a flat-out and out lie, it's a scare tactic. The libs are all upset because the First Amendment was upheld. Freedom came out of its coma a little bit with that ruling by the US Supreme Court. The libs are all bent out of shape because free speech gets in the way of their plans.
