So many fucking initiatives.
Anyway, this one is aimed at getting the state’s congressional delegation to go on record supporting a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the infamous United States Supreme Court ruling from 2010 that opened the floodgates for unlimited, untraceable “dark money.” Citizens United is one of the two most destructive Supreme Court rulings in modern history. (Shelby County v. Holder, the 2013 decision gutting the Voting Rights Act, was the other.)
It’s hard to pass a federal constitutional amendment on anything. (Remember when right-wingers proposed the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would’ve banned same-sex marriage? Legally married same-sex couples like to use old copies of that one as cum rags on their wedding nights.) But the idea here is to get more and more lawmakers to promise to support the amendment until you hit the magic number you need.
