he U.S. Supreme Court petition was extraordinary—so heavily redacted that even parts of the question presented to the justices could not be read. Still, in an election year in which money is flowing like Niagara Falls, the petition raised compelling issues of campaign finance law and judicial ethics.

The high court on May 19 is scheduled to consider three prosecutors’ motion to file a petition under seal in Chisholm v. Two Unnamed Petitioners—with redacted copies for the public. Thanks to an unnamed party, the redacted petition is already available online.
