I’m not normally a Jon Roberts fan boy, but he really pulled off an epic level mind-fuck today.

I’m still not a John Roberts fanboy. I’m not a lawyer, but I talk a lot with friends who are, and who are extremely conservative (albeit by foreign standards) to boot. Even they continually scratch their heads over Citizens United. Really, Chief Justice? Corporations are people, really? Today’s verdict strikes me very much as being motivated by something other than a desire to find constitutionality or accurately interpret the law. I’m not sure we see all the ramifications of this decision yet.

On another note, it is extraordinary how far the Overton Window has shifted that lefties are now cheering for a policy initially conceived by the Heritage Foundation.
