I invite you to actually THINK THROUGH the repurcussions of what has happened, instead of parroting back whatever feces John Boehner spouted out about this. Truly think this through and come up with a reason why this is a good idea.
First off it's not "unfettered access". Many spending restrictions remain in place. Your cries of wolf are not helping anything here.

Second the law as written was unconstitutional. Shame on Congress for passing something that doesn't stand constitutional muster.

If you Democrats really object to the SJC's ruling then convene a constitutional convention and change the 1st amendment.
