Reply to Sen. Whitehouse: Chapter and verse on how the U.S. Supreme Court was ‘captured’ by Beezlegrunk

>”There is a big difference between the court making a controversial decision from time to time, and what is actually going on. The problem is how the justices got selected, how they got stuffed onto the court by (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell, and how the pattern of their decision shows fealty to big Republican donor interests on a distressingly predictable basis.” > >… > >”If Exxon Mobil or Marathon Petroleum want to spend $10 million against me in an election, and their dirty ads say they’re brought to you by Exxon Mobil and Marathon Petroleum, I might [actually] gain votes, because Rhode Islanders would get the joke — they’d see what’s going on. But if they spend money through a group called ‘Rhode Islanders for Peace, Puppies and Prosperity,’ you end up with the ability to have your message separated from your motive.”
