Big #Republican influencers were there after selection, behind the multi-million #darkmoney campaign to pressure Senators on #Kavanaugh.
Big #Republican influencers loomed over the Senate during hearings and votes, and are ecstatic today claiming their prize.
Tomorrow, and after, those Big #Republican influencers will prowl the Court through “amici,” urging how the reward for their efforts should be framed.
Not once, not a dozen, but 73 times under Roberts, #SCOTUS Republicans have delivered 5-4 partisan victories for big #Republican influencers, urged on by “amici.”
Corporate rights; political money; dodging courtrooms; voter suppression; polluter deregulation; guns; religion; union-busting.
Expect more. They don’t seem to know when enough is enough.
