Clergy rap Court's ruling on campaign financing: Corporate personhood

A coalition of religious leaders and a top Presbyterian official have blasted the Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling that would allow large corporations to give unlimited financial support to candidates during elections.

The group of more than 200 leaders, many affiliated with the National Council of Churches, also pledged to support legislation to limit the impact of the January 21 ruling by empowering voters, not special interest groups.
