And what #CorruptSCOTUS decision came down in 2010?

Why Citizens United that fully opened the door to dirty money is US politics. Coincidence?

Excellent thread.

I completely agree. With all the focus on Trump's destruction of democracy, none of it would have been possible without the active cooperation of the #FederalistSociety and ultimately the #CorruptSCOTUS
