AP offers Legislatures Push Back Against Campaign Ruling.
Jeff Toobin’s New Yorker article on Justice Stevens contains the following paragraph: “I asked him if the center of gravity had moved to the right since he became a Justice. ‘There’s no doubt,’ he said. ‘You don’t have to ask me that. Look at Citizens United.’ He added, ‘If it is not necessary to decide a case on a very broad constitutional ground, when other grounds are available, then doesn’t that create the likelihood that people will think you’re not following the rules?'”
Jeff Rosen blogs: “Opposition to the decision underlying the White House-Supreme Court drama — the court’s ruling to allow a more active campaign role for corporations and unions — is high at 80 percent, according to a recent Washington Post-ABC news survey. If it remains high, then the conservatives on the Supreme Court should plan their next moves very carefully.”
Brian Frosh and Jamie Raskin have written this WaPo oped, “States can limit corporate and union spending on elections.”
