DeMint Clueless on U.S. Sovereignty and the Unintended Consequences of Corporate Personhood

So how much do Republicans think about policy and the unintended consequences of their ideological recklessness? Not much.

Even when it comes to the conservative activist Supreme Court decision to allow person hood to groups and corporations, Republicans are willing to let strict constructionist theory go right out the window along with U.S. sovereignty. I would have thought the threat to America's sovereignty, the same panicky reason climate change deniers give, might have angered the "take our government back" tea partiers. I guess if you don't think about it, it won't be a problem.

Sen. Jim DeMint hasn't read the opinion like most concerned Americans have, and seems a bit uprepared for the question of how much foreign money will influence the electoral process. Keith Oblermann on the back half of the clip gives a few reasons why we should worry.
