Oh, let me play the game. Right at the beginning the writer refers to "unrefuted findings" concerning corruption in politics. As the dissenting Justices pointed out, there were ample statements from various politicians that politicians are being bought, or at least rented. But in each case the person asserting that was quick to deny that he, or anyone he knows personally, is corrupt.

Every legitimate decision, note the use of the word "legitimate," rests on two bases: facts and law. In the McConnell decision, five Justices first faked the facts, and having done that, faked the law to applu those "facts." Other than those two minor defects, the Court's decision in the CFR case is a fine example of judicial craftsmanship.

Do I win the prize for analyzing the decision and the article? LOL.
