So there you have it. Despicable Fat Cats who want to finance their own campaigns for elective office can now do so without impediments imposed by the "Millionaire's Amendment." Celebrities with great name recognition (Elvis, were he still alive, Britney Spears, and even Pat Buchanan), politicians who have attained such name recognition through long tenures for good or ill (the Kennedy clan, the Clintons, et al) can continue to soak up funds from contributors, and continue to offer their reasons why they should be elected. As long as we are to have free and fair elections, there is no apparent reason why the over privileged should be allowed to do less.
Fat Cats who run for office must be treated no differently than "poor" but famous people. That is probably a good thing.
