A bridge too far (#1243)

You know, when someone or some people have stepped across the line of no return? Zealotry and blind ambition are precursors to this phenomenon. We humans are emotional creatures and at times, more often lately, we are prone toward living in the emotion instead of measuring our emotion with contemplation and reasonable logic. Illogical ideologically driven motives skew our perception of what is best for all to enhance what is best for some. I say that with the innocence of someone who would rather not think that an ulterior motive of greedy selfish intention is behind the callous and reckless adventurousness that some forge upon the rest of us. My naivete aside, when the logic of an ideology is incomprehensible, yet determined to prevail, one must at least wonder as to the rationale for the genesis of the idea. How in the world can the most prestigious body we have in our society, at least the institution that should be gifted with the virtue of gravitas, utterly fail at rationalizing the easily understood concept of antithesis. Our conservative majority US Supreme Court just reaffirmed their lack of leadership and insight into how our Democracy functions. By allowing unlimited corporate spending in our political arena to move forward without restraining the obvious disadvantages it places on the average American citizen, speaks more about, not the lack of understanding the implications but, of an out of control  ideology that has gone too far in disrupting the core of our democratic idealism. Our US Supreme Court is supposed to be the protector of democracy, yet in this recent ruling from Montana, it has shown that 5 individuals on the court can and will deprive America of it's cherished right of equality in the sphere of political speech. A bridge too far indeed!
