Depends.  Freedom of speach, protection from unreasonable search and seizure...yes

Could easily be rectified by not supporting politicians who take the bulk of their donations from corporations. But I guess that's asking too much.

Obama has collected more Wall St. cash than the GOP candidates COMBINED.

I would favor no limits, full disclosure, but no money from corps or unions.
