Because it isn’t already about who has the richest friends:

#SCOTUS will hear #Republicans appeal over #spending limits in #elections

SCOTUS will take up a Republican-led drive to wipe away limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination w/candidates for Congress & president.

The justices said Mon they’ll review an appellate ruling that upheld a provision of federal #election #law that’s >50 yrs old. #Democrats want the court to leave the law in place.

NEW: The Supreme Court will decide next term whether states may lawfully prohibit transgender women and girls from participating in school sports on the women's team.

In light of Skrmetti, the answer will likely be "yes." https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/070325zr_bqmd.pdf

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.

Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a1153_2co3.pdf

I used to think (in my naivety) that a judge on the Supreme Court was the smartest in the Judiciary — cream of the crop, top of the line…

But damn I can see that’s not true because this is some A-class manipulation and gaslighting by Trump Administration lawyers—

And it makes sense that the people directing #Trump during his first term would put judges in #SCOTUS who would roll over for him.
