. . . I can see it backfiring for them when it's eventually revealed just how much foreign money is being hidden behind the unaccountable, republican-backer contributions. I'd think they'd be smart enough to get the upper hand before the utter treason is laid out for everyone to see.

play to be kingmakers if the Mittster becomes president. Rehearsals started in election 2000.

but, still an opportunity -- for Justice Ginsburg, for instance:

from the article:

. . . (she) wrote, “Montana’s experience, and experience elsewhere since this Court’s decision in Citizens United, make it exceedingly difficult to maintain that independent expenditures by corporations , ‘do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption.’”

She said she hoped the court would agree to hear the case and decide whether “in light of the huge sums currently deployed to buy candidates’ allegiance, Citizens United should continue to hold sway.”

This has nothing to do with the merits of Citizen's United. It has to do with the proposition that individual states are not allowed to have a more restrictive view of Constitutional rights than the national standard, which technically the Montana thing is.

(A state may have a more accommodating views of rights, but not more restrictive.)

remembered in the same way the Dred Scott & the Fugitive Slave Act courts are now looked back on.

But that's no immediate consolation
