    @DavidAFrench There was a principled conservative position on disclosure. One in which many organizations across the spectrum may have disagreed. But this brazen nonsense involving the majority’s 7-figure financiers is not it. brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/scalia-democracy-without-disclosure

      @DavidAFrench But I wouldn’t characterize this victory as conservative, merely corrupt and anti-Democratic. Nina Totenberg gets it just right in portraying it as a victory for an organization that has spent 7 figures on each of the majority’s nominations, and now gets what it purchased.

        @DavidAFrench Worth noting that the only reason we know about AFP purchasing this majority is because they brazenly put out press releases. All the other right-wing billionaires who want to buy SCOTUS seats or deploy national guardsmen for their amusement remain free to do so anonymously.
