Everyone probably has their own list of the worst decisions ever of the US Supreme Court. My top three can be stated thusly:
- Slaves are property.
- Corporations are people.
- Money is speech.
A terrible war was fought to overcome the effects of the first ruling. The last two are insidiously changing the political and economic landscape, to the extent that American democracy may eventually become unsustainable. They accomplish their effects by making the government increasingly unresponsive to the people.
