It’s not just that the Supreme Court spontaneously decided to let oligarchs buy our democracy.

It’s that the oligarchs created and funded an organization, the Federalist Society, to find and
brainwash future Supreme Court justices to back oligarchs. And the oligarchs funded think tanks to brainwash their future judges.

Just like only 10% of Americans would be conservatives without the oligarch and corporate propaganda, probably only 10% of judges would be conservatives without the oligarch and corporate ideological machine.
