For more background, start here.

Olbermann is right.  The passing of this law has just monumentally, and possibly irrevocably, changed politics in this country.  It’s not like there wasn’t already collusion between big corporate money and politics, but until two days ago, such things were at least still seen as unlawful and corrupt. Today, thanks to this new law, corporations can now legally pour as much money as they want into a candidate.

Think about that.

And it’s not just Liberals like Olbermann that are stunned and dismayed.  Conservatives too.  The Senior Editor of Veterans Today has called for the arrest of the 5 Supreme Court Justices that passed this law.

This is not the kind of news that you swallow, feel a little angry about, and then simply move on to the next distracting thing.  This is a historical moment, and left unchecked, will radically alter the political trajectory of this country.  This is the kind of news that requires action.

So, as Keith Olbermann asks, “What are you going to do about it?”
