++ I thought it was just a procedural vote to allow the measure to be voted on. Apparently, the Senate really did vote to advance a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. The vote was a stunning 79 to 18.
++The idea has been supported by Bernie Sanders for months and the Vermont Legislature passed a similar measure but I thought it was a nice idea, which didn't have a chance.
++Of course,the prospect of a constitutional amendment actually being approved by 2/3rds of the states is slim. But the power of the idea has shown its popularity.
++For the disbelievers and cynics such as myself, I applaud the vote, which makes one less despairing of our Congresscritters.
