Those Democrats who hope to fight back against a Supreme Court decision that allows unlimited corporate and union money to flood into federal campaigns have an ally in Sen. Olympia Snowe, a Maine Republican. “That’s regrettable, obviously, from where I stand and the positions I’ve taken and argued here,” Snowe told HuffPost Thursday to describe her reaction to the decision. “It’s very disappointing, frankly,” she said. Other prominent members of her party, including Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, have endorsed the decision. The Thursday morning decision represents a rare moment of judicial activism from the conservative Supreme Court, which upends a century of law and replaces the current regime of campaign finance regulations with the opinions of five Supreme Court Justices. Four justices opposed the decision, with John Paul Stevens doing so in bitter terms, calling the court’s activism a “dramatic break” from precedent, highlighted here by Mother Jones. “Although they make enormous contributions to our society, corporations are not actually members of it.
