WASHINGTON AP – The Supreme Court’s decision on campaign finance has jumbled a seemingly simple rule of American politics – foreigners should play no role in U.S. elections.
President Barack Obama and other critics say the court’s decision to let corporations spend their money to directly influence elections opened the floodgates to foreign involvement. In last week’s address to Congress and the nation, Obama asserted the court had allowed special interests, “including foreign corporations, to spend without limit on our elections.”
