No, Mr. Kleiner, John Roberts showed that he knows perfectly well how money works in politics.
An article by Sam Kleiner posted yesterday on the New Republic’s website is titled “John Roberts shows he has no idea how money works in politics.”
Mr. Kleiner must not understand the real purpose of the Conservative Movement’s decades-long crusade against campaign-finance laws. In fact, Roberts showed in McCutcheon v. FEC (yet again) that he knows perfectly well how money works in politics.
If you get my drift.
Probably the only positive thing one can say for this court is that it probably isn’t taking money for inserting its ideology into constitutional law. It might be, of course, but there’s no proof and in the spirit of the old constitution, they’re presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The next case may arrive soon. At their private conference on Friday, the justices are scheduled to consider whether to hear Iowa Right to Life Committee v.

It challenges an Iowa law that bans contributions from corporations but allows them from unions.
Just heard Michael Steele on UP with… refer to the commentary from the dem’s on this issue as being “highbrow” because after all Obama opted out of the public system.
Like there is a repub that would intentional stick to their moral high ground knowing it was a certainty they would lose in order to be the public image of virtuousness.
“John Roberts shows he has no idea how money works in politics.”
He doesn’t even know the difference between a tax and a fine.
