‘There once was a time in history when the limitation of governmental power meant increasing liberty for the people. In the present day the limitation of governmental power, of governmental action, means the enslavement of the people by the great corporations, who can only be held in check through the extension of governmental power.’
– Theodore Roosevelt, ‘Limitation of Governmental Power’ address at the Coliseum, San Francisco, September 14, 1912

President Theodre Roosevelt must be rolling in his grave over what this country has become after the Citizens United decision of the Supreme Court. He would surely be opposed to what 60 Minutes last night described as a legal practice that allows an elected member of Congress to retain political activity campaign money raised on his behalf for election as a personal slush fund after taking office.
