We all remember about a month ago when The Supreme Court gave their ruling on corporate rights, right? Well now one little corporation is putting this to the test. Murray Hill Incorporated is running for the 8th district seat in Maryland in the upcoming election.

"Bring on the competition"

That is what the incumbent Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D), who holds the 8th Congressional District, says to this play for corporate power. Who really knows why they are doing this, is it because they really want to show how The Supreme Court has messed things up by making that ruling? or is it simply a publicity stunt to get more clients? Who knows? One thing is for sure, it will be interesting to see how the people of the Maryland 8th District will vote, or if this will even last that long. Below is a video that they recently put on their site, saying that

"Now that Democracy is for sale Murray Hill Incorporated is Offering Top Dollar"

Seriously? Since when was Democracy EVER for sale? I seriously doubt that this is what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote The Constitution. This is just ******* crazy if you ask me.

During his State of the Union address yesterday, President Obama made what some are calling a rude comment, geared towards the new supreme court ruling that states that since a corporation has human rights like speech and so on, that it can donate unlimited funds to political campaigns for public office. The quote, which was apparently added to the speech by the President on the spot and not originally part of the speech is:
With all due deference to the separation of powers,'' he began delicately, then reverted to his prepared remarks, ''the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections.
After this was said, and everyone was cheering, the cameras panned over to Justice Alito, who then mouthed to the president "Simply not true", as show in the video below.
