Let's not even pretend

If this ruling is upheld (and 5 to 4 it will be) then say goodbye to even pretending we're not a kleptocracy.

Why do they even bother? Everyone knows /Citizens United solved the problem. Nothing to do for the Supremes but tidy up a bit around the asshole they perversely share for pleasure.
