“Reid wants campaign finance reform to be part of SCOTUS debate”

Politico:

In an address at the liberal American for Progress on Wednesday morning, Reid is set to urge Democrats to fight for a court that will take a more a progressive view of the country’s campaign finance system. The death of Justice Antonin Scalia has opened the possibility that the court’s ideological bent could be shifted leftward.

Of course Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is the architect of the GOP strategy to block a new nominee — and he’s been an outspoken proponent for loosening the campaign finance system. Reid’s remarks seem poised to only harden Republicans’ opposition to taking up a nominee even further.

Could that be the point?
