‘With all due deference to the separation of powers,’ he began, the court last week ‘reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections.’ Alito made a dismissive face, shook his head repeatedly and appeared to mouth the words ‘not true” or possibly ’simply not true’.”...
