Kevin Drum really has it right on the cynic/realist/etc. takes though. And I think the lessons are simple about how corporate power already works through getting the corporate executives to donate to campaigns. They fund BOTH sides so they win (or have their influence) either way. The image I had right after the decision was Burger King doing “have it your way” commercials for both candidates in an election. What most, but not all, companies will be about is influencing who is governing, that is already a problem. At the margin, on some issues, some companies may saturate races on one side or the other. So, surely this decision will not LESSEN corporate power in political decision making, on that you can rely. And, as a result and as happened at the turn of two centuries ago, we may see a new Progressive LaFollette type party arise that rejects corporate control. But the issues and reactions are complex, and the Supreme Court has knocked the system out of equilibrium. It will naturally seek a new equilibrium someplace.
