[EL] Truth to power?

True, Joe, and don't forget, also, the fact that the concurrence about  
"huge sums" rests on evidence not in the record of the original Montana 
district  court in this case. Given the requirements in recent cases for specific 
factual  assertions demonstrating actual effect on First Amendment rights 
(e.g.,  Phelps, and Doe v Reed), how is that kind of reference  helpful? It's 
great to jaw about titanic clashes, but most of the Justices  probably want 
to see some actual record. So, if anything, RBG is asking to be  flooded with 
Brandeis briefs; not a pleasant prospect for most of the Court in  these 
days of multi-dozen amici filings, and probably exactly the opposite of  what 
she thought she was asking for.

I’m  curious about a different aspect of the statement from Justices 
Ginsburg and  Breyer in the Montana stay order.  Specifically, wasn’t it a mistake 
for  those justices to frame their concerns with reference to the “huge sums
” being  spent in this cycle via superPACs and other independent 
expenditure  efforts?   
Maybe  that was meant as an allusion to Caperton, but either way it still  
seems to me that, at least in Justice Kennedy’s eyes, the door to using the  
*hugeness* of the sums, per se, as a basis for regulation has been pretty  
thoroughly slammed shut and triple-deadbolted.  Whereas the question of  the 
“independence” of functionally single-candidate IE committees for which  
the candidate him- or herself directly solicits funds (while conspicuously 
not  anointing any other IE efforts with similar solicitations) seems still  
relatively open for discussion.   
Not  open as a matter of a Part 109 analysis, necessarily, but more in the 
sense  that this does not appear to be the kind of “independence” reflected 
in the  facts of the actual case before the Court in Citizens United, nor 
in  the section of Justice Kennedy’s opinion in which the Court “conclude[s] 
that  independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do 
not give  rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption.”  (Nor in  
Buckley’s holding on the FECA IE limit, nor in Colorado  Republican’s holding on 
IE’s by party committees, nor in any other holding  I’m aware of.) 
Point  being that, in my opinion, Ginsburg and Breyer seem to have picked a 
strange  basis for their observation if the subtext of it was meant to 
invite Justice  Kennedy to candidly evaluate whether the premises he offered for 
that  conclusion have borne out in reality.  Thoughts/agree/disagree?

“Justice  Ginsburg is ready to speak truth to power, I argue in this Slate 
commentary  published on President’s Day” 
Umm,  Justice Ginsburg is a member of the Supreme Court of the United 
States. She is  power. Truth? What truth was there in her little Western 
Tradition Partnership  concurrence? Didn’t she just offer an opinion, slandering 
both donors and  candidates, without any facts at all? Traditionally, when we 
say one is  speaking truth to power, we think of one taking a courageous 
stand that will  impose on them real personal costs. What courage is there in 
sheepishly  following conventional wisdom, with no examination of the facts, 
on campaign  finance, to align oneself with the New York Times and the 
Washington Post and  all the organs of power that will sing your accolades? And 
what would Justice  Ginsburg’s position do, if adopted? It would increase the 
power of her  employer, the Federal government, and decrease the First 
Amendment freedoms of  American citizens.  
If  that’s called speaking truth to power, give me some lies.

Last week, Yale University Press released a sneak preview from my  
forthcoming book, _The Voting Wars_ (http://amzn.to/y22ZTv) .  The preview is _The

(http://www.amazon.com/Fraudulent-Fraud-Squad-Understanding-ebook/dp/B00795X5XI/ref=zg_b

In connection with the release, I wrote two blog posts: 
_How many voters actually deterred  by new Republican voting laws?_ 
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=29665)  
and 
_Why Tough State Voter ID Laws  Should Be Opposed—Even If Effects of Law on

Jonathan Adler _discussed_ 
(http://volokh.com/2012/02/18/for-and-against-voter-id-exaggeration-all-around/)   the chapter on Volokh, and there are now 
178 comments posted—many of which  illustrate the intensity of partisan 
feeling in The Voting Wars.   Similarly, there are 78 strong comments to Eric

_“WISCONSIN SUED OVER RACIALLY  DISCRIMINATORY VOTER LAW”_ 
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=30258)  
 
Posted on _February 21,  2012 7:45 am_ 
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=30258)  by _Rick Hasen_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3)   
 
The following press release arrived via email: 

WISCONSIN  SUED OVER RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY VOTER LAW 
FIRST SUIT TO  SPECIFICALLY CHARGE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION 
78  PERCENT OF YOUNG BLACK MEN COULD BE BARRED FROM THE  POLLS 
Milwaukee, WI –  Advancement Project, joined by the League of Young Voters 
and  the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, will file the first lawsuit based on 
a  claim of racial discrimination against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker 
and  members of the Government Accountability Board charging that a newly 
enacted  restrictive voter identification law specifically discriminates against 
 African American and Latino voters. 
The lawsuit, to  be filed Thursday February 23, challenges Wisconsin Act 23 
under Section 2  of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits the institution 
of any electoral  procedures that deny or abridge the rights of citizens to 
vote on account of  race or color. 
“This law is a  part of the largest legislative effort to turn back the 
clock on voting  rights in our nation in over a century and shows how essential 
the Voting  Rights Act is to allow all Americans their right to vote,” 
states  Advancement Project co director Judith Browne Dianis, one of the nation’
s  leading civil rights litigators. “If this bill is allowed to stand it 
will  undermine the basic fabric of our nation’s democracy.” 
Studies in Wisconsin  have confirmed that racial minorities, especially 
African American and  Latino voters, are far less likely to have a 
Wisconsin-issued ID, finding  that roughly half of the state’s African Americans and 
Latinos lack a valid  driver’s license.  Specifically, a 2005 study determined 
that 55% of  Black males and 46% of Hispanic males – as compared with only 
16% of white  males – lack a driver’s license.  Among females, 49% of 
African  Americans and 59% of Latinas lacked a driver’s license as compared to 17% 
of  Whites. 
When age and race  are considered together, the disparities become far more 
pronounced: an  astounding 78% of African-American males (as compared with 
36% of White  males) aged 18-24 lack a driver’s license, and 66% of 
African-American  females (as compared with 25% of White females) aged 18-24 lack a 
driver’s  license.  The study also found a disparate impact on Latino 
voters:  57% of young Latino males age 18-24 lack a driver’s license, as  compared 
to 36% of White males age 18-24. 
One of the lead  plaintiffs is Bettye Jones, 77, who was born at home in 
Tennessee and had no  birth certificate filed of her birth. She has voted in 
every election since  1956 and advocated as a civil rights activist for the 
Voting Rights Act.  Despite being a registered voter, and having a valid and 
current ID  from another state, she will not be allowed to vote. She has 
tried in vain  to get a voter ID and will be disenfranchised in April’s primary 
elections  as a result. 
Wisconsin’s law,  the strictest voter identification law in the nation, 
requires citizens to  present limited forms of current, government-issued photo 
identification  before receiving a ballot.  Commonly held forms of 
identification like  state or federal employee IDs, veterans’ cards, most college 
and university  identification cards, and out-of-state or expired driver’s 
licenses are not  allowed.

anecdotal reporting that Super  PACs go more negative because they are 
unaccountable: “Data show that super  PACs, which have run more advertising than the 
campaigns themselves, have  spent 72 percent of their money on negative ads. 
The figure for campaigns is  27 percent, according to a Washington Post 
analysis of data from Kantar  Media/Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks 
television advertising  across the country. (For this article, ads were 
considered negative if they  mentioned another GOP candidate.)”

_“The (Non-)Effects of Campaign  Finance Spending Bans on Macro Political 
Outcomes: Evidence From the  States”_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?p=30222)  
 
Posted on _February 20,  2012 12:25 pm_ 
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=30222)  by _Rick Hasen_ (http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3)   
 
Ray La Raja and Brian Schaffner have uploaded _this  important draft paper_ 
(http://people.umass.edu/schaffne/laraja_schaffner_spendingbans.pdf) .  
Here is the abstract: 
This paper seeks to understand the effect of campaign finance laws on  
electoral and policy Spurred by the recent Supreme Court decision, Citizens  
United v. FEC (2010), which bans on corporate and union political spending,  
the study focuses on whether such bans generate consequences notably  
different from an electoral system that lacks such bans. We observe three  key 
outcomes: partisan control of government, incumbent reelection rates and  
corporate tax burdens. Using historical data on regulations in 49 American  states 
between 1935 and 2009 we test alternative models for evaluating the  impact 
of corporate and union spending bans put in place during this period.  The 
results indicate that spending bans appear to have limited, if any,  effect 
on these outcomes.
I very much look forward to reading this paper!  Note that the paper  
attempts to measure the effects of spending on electoral outcomes,  not 
legislative outcomes (and the latter in my view is a bigger  problem).
