Classic Jeff Jacoby at the Boston Globe on the continuing fever by liberals over Citizens United.

It’s strange that liberal Democrats should still be so obsessed with
Citizens United. Yet obsessed they are, as Representative Ed Markey of
Massachusetts confirmed last week, when he resurrected the Dred Scott comparison during a campaign speech in Pittsfield.

Markey told voters that he is running to replace John Kerry in the
Senate “in order to fight for a constitutional amendment to repeal
Citizens United. . . . The Dred Scott decision had to be repealed; we
have to repeal Citizens United.” Critics pounced. Markey’s Democratic
rival, US Representative Stephen Lynch, rebuked Markey for likening a
campaign-finance case to the infamous 1857 decision that “perpetuated
the horror of slavery.”
