(CNSNews.com) – David Bossie, founder of the conservative group Citizens United, says that people advocating to overturn the landmark Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission are a “posse of radicals” who are trying to "overturn the First Amendment."

“So that’s why I say they’re a posse of radicals who are looking for a problem rather than a dedicated group of people who are analyzing something seriously and trying to find a way forward,” Bossie said in an exclusive interview with CNSNews.com on Wednesday.

Bossie made the remarks outside a Capitol Hill conference of liberal groups and Democratic legislators advocating for a constitutional amendment that would in effect overturn the Citizens United decision, on the grounds that the high court’s ruling in Citizens United’s favor will eventually lead to massive corporate spending in political campaigns.

“We haven’t seen that type of giving,” said Bossie. “We’ve seen individual wealthy donors give to these SuperPACs but we’re not seeing corporate giving and that’s really what we’re talking about – that’s their big hang-up. We just haven’t seen it.”

Bossie said that Democrats and their liberal allies were trying to create a 28th Amendment to overturn the First Amendment.

“They want to create a 28th Amendment to overturn the First Amendment,” he said. “That’s really what the essence of this discussion here is today.”

The Democrats must think this is a popular belief.

Why else would they do this ?

I wonder if this was approved by Obama ?

Is somebody crazy here ?

And many corporate officers and employees are convicted of crimes once in a while too.

They get a theoretical "slap on the wrist" with a fine. Name ALL the arrests from those who caused our economy to collapse.

WASHINGTON – President Bush created the President’s Corporate Fraud Task Force on July 9, 2002 to restore public and investor confidence in America’s corporations following a wave of major corporate scandals. Since its inception, the Task Force has compiled a strong record of combating corporate fraud and punishing those who violate the trust of employees and investors. Today, the member agencies of the Task Force recognized these successes at an event commemorating its fifth anniversary.

Chaired by Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty, the Task Force includes senior Department of Justice officials, seven U.S. Attorneys, the heads of the Departments of Treasury and Labor, and the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Federal Communications Commission, United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. In the last five years, the task force has yielded remarkable results with 1,236 total corporate fraud convictions to date, including:

214 chief executive officers and presidents;
53 chief financial officers;
23 corporate counsels or attorneys; and
129 vice presidents.

Additionally, the Justice Department’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section has obtained more than one billion dollars in fraud-related forfeitures and has distributed that money to the victims of corporate fraud.
