In 2010 the Supreme Court decided that there should be no volume control. If you own the biggest megaphone you are entitled to shout down your opponents at maximum volume no matter what the issue.
(They do not, however, allow these bullhorns in their courtroom. It would be too bothersome. It's only OK when shouting at the public.)
The court declared that there must be no limits on the amount of money spent promoting politicians, because politicians are not prone to corruption. Or maybe it's the ones who pay for the politicians campaigns who are virtuous and wouldn't think of asking favors in return for their support. I'm not sure. But the court is sure that money and corruption are in no way related. Corruption is only of the mind. Anyone who thinks that rich people can be corrupt must have a corrupted mind.
Those of us who have less money must relax and quietly learn from the uncorrupted rich people how to have a pure mind, one that recognizes that wealth sanctifies one's thinking and one's motives. It is for this reason that the Supreme Court went to such lengths to protect the rights of rich people to drown out the voices of us commoners. They really want what is best for us!
Government for the people. Well, no one really said which people, right? Rich people are people too. In fact a rich person is worth many poor people. So the best way to promote a government for the people is to promote those rich ones above all others.
The united citizens were, you guessed it, rich citizens. They have the biggest bullhorns with the greatest volume. What good would those loudspeakers do if they could not be used at full volume? It wouldn't make any sense.
We all know that we must use our resources for what they are meant. These are not just any horns; they have a higher purpose. They are bull horns.
And you see how useful they have been. Now, the Supreme Court can declare that a president also must not be controlled. Even though he is not as rich as those who provide fancy vacations and gifts for the justices, he did nominate others who understand that riches shall not be infringed by something so mundane as justice or liberty for all.

Your thoughts are welcome! I'll try not to flinch if there are nasty ones, which I understand are fairly common nowadays.
