Agreed. The only way to protect our experiment is to re-install common sense guardrails: required fairness in the media, and reversing Citizens United. It's no accident that 45% of the nation gets its "news" from Fox and 45% of the nation supports Trump; it's a direct line. We're also seeing, with Elon Musk's illegal shenanigans paying $1 million a day for a "voters lottery," how CU has infected our system. But my fear with a congressional act to overturn CU is that the rightwing hacks on the present iteration of scotus will overturn it under the auspices of the 1st A. (Remember when freedoms in the Bill of Rights were protected against legislative encroachment?) So, it's project creep, like building a house, the foundation is a reformed/ expanded court.
