      The politically appointed and republican biased supreme court should not be allowed to arbitrarily make law that impacts national security without an assessment by a balanced group overseeing it’s decisions, joint chiefs, pentagon, house and Congress.

      Citizens united opens an enormous gaping national security hole that needs to be closed permanently and never reopened.

        No but if it’s not bad enough that they are a foreign lobby meddling in our elections, they have resorted to dark money fronts posing as progressive or conservative activist groups in order to hide their influence. It’s fucking insidious.

          Yup, it’s bullshit, clearly they are a functional foreign lobby and as you suggest they should be on the list. But they aren’t, so my pro-Israel friends/family pull up the FARA numbers to prove Israel isn’t the top foreign lobbyist in the US. It’s farcical.
