BREAKING: Caps on Total Campaign Giving Struck Down by U.S. Supreme Court

130. When I've given to candidates directly it's not tax free or anonymous, like the Slush 501c(3)&Dark4

So is this a possible silver lining in this hideous right wing SCOTUS decision. Could it make the Kochs more visible (instead of their
deliberately impenetrable, shapeshifting, secret network of dark money 501s) and even take some money out of Rove's. Norquists etc coffers into direct contributions?

Dem individuals and corps are never ashamed, covert about their contributions. But The GOP hate/pollution money laundering thrives in the dark. I noticed in Feb 2014 SD mayor election recently that the Dem candidate clearly listed Union support in his ads. And he was, of course, relentlessly attacked by the Repub candidate for his union support.("pension collusion" was the slur) Meanwhile it's impossible, given all the RW love for SanDiego, that Koch's and Rove's and Norquist's and ALEC didn't seed and compose the antiunion flood of Repub Faulkoneer commercials. They fed into the Lincoln Club, "Chamber of Commerce", NFIB. ...there was probably a " their probable toxic donor ids remained hidden.


Maybe with this change, and the obscenely narcissistic personalities of Koch, Adelson, Freize et alios, these billionaires will be suckered into making detectable donations to their Repub candidates. The current "mainstream" Repub gambit is to claim they are "independent" more than Repub, since the Repub brand is currently so insane. And to keep thier rightwing donors well hidden so that they cannot be identified as "the Koch Bros candidate." under 501 id shielding (c4) Under both 501 c3 & 4 we as taxpayers subsidize the tax free donations of all of these rightwing billionaires.

That's my understanding, maybe I'm misinformed. But seems like this ruling might coax a few of these villains into the Sunlight and some of their donations onto the tax rolls.

It's a horrible decision and screams corporate/rightwing capture of SCOTUS and our tarttered democracy. But it might, just maybe, cause these RW creeps to overplay their hand.
