This Looks Bad

So, the Supreme Court will be looking at overturning the bans on corporate campaign contributions.

The last time this hit, it was 6-3 supporting the bans, but 2 of those 6 votes are now Roberts and Alito, whose jurisprudence is politically motivated hypocrisy rather results oriented, which makes it a 5-4 decision which will overturn the most basic campaign finance regulations.

So much for stare decisis. They explicitly lied to congress during their confirmation hearings, but you won't be able to get a conviction.

I'm just waiting for the first case where a Chinese owned firm uses funds to aid a political campaign.
