Predicting an outcome from this court is dangerous. But when I am next at my computer with some time to provide links, I will provide some citations that show even conservative legal authorities (e.g., Reagan's Solicitor General) think the arguments are bogus. But, this is the same group that threw out 70 years of precedents to get to Citizens United, so I will be disappointed, but not shocked, to be wrong. Nonetheless, if this Court does seek to return us to pre-New Deal jurisprudence, it will certainly be a legacy - along the lines of Dred Scott, or Plessy v. Ferguson rather than Kansas City Board of Education or Miranda.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
