I dont think I am overstating it... I think the Citizens United case is the most destructive thing to this country since the Civil War.
I can think of a few:
McCarthyism
The Native Removal Act and its implementation from 1865 to 1923
The Internment Camps of 1942
Jim Crow
Kelo v. City of New London
but I still think it merits a space in any sane person's top twenty list
