    It’s kings and such all over again, just by another name. They bought out the checks and balances of the founding fathers so a lot of that is illusion at this point.

    If it wasn’t, as one example, things like Google and Microsoft would’ve been split like Bell telephone already. Look at Clarence Thomas, as another example. Look at the high money duopoly that is our election system.

    We’re back to kings. I’m sure Madison and all the rest would be thrilled.
