Before the Citizens United decision, the people were already forced to compete in a rigged market of policy initiatives. Now they are compelled by law to furnish the means of political success, in the form of capital, to already well capitalized and adversarial private interests. We need no further evidence that the Court has joined opinion makers in establishing corporate capitalism as a state religion. It is now constitutional dogma, ritualized and enforced from the top down. What gets lost? In a word, democracy.
