Equality as Unconstitutional

Citizens United was already a travesty of judicial reasoning -- a decision that only a plutocrat could love. Apparently, now, the principle of equality is unconstitutional. Ronald Dworkin lays out the bizarre questions and reasoning during oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Arizona Free Enterprise Club PAC v. Bennett. According to this reasoning, it is only a matter of time until political offices are bought and sold, literally, on Wall Street. Why go through the middle man -- after all, it's economically inefficient.
