    "Enough is enough. I want my government back; The supreme court's
    campaign finance rulings have made Congress responsive to rich

I wonder whether his comments about gender and ethnic diversity on the 
Supreme Court promoting the Court's legitimacy will have any effect in 
his thinking in affirmative action cases.

Brad Smith 
<http://www.nationalreview.com/article/360805/fantasyland-supreme-court-bradley-smith> 
on the /McCutcheon /oral argument.

I expect a string of articles from conservatives to try to insure that 
Chief Justice Roberts <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55849> does not "go 
wobbly 
<http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/23/news/la-ol-roberts-supreme-health-20120523>" 
on campaign finance reform too.

    "Obama's Lawyer Should Have Used Originalism to Sway Originalist
    Justices; If he had met a conservative Court on its own ground, the
    solicitor general could have notched a victory for liberalism---and
    helped safeguard campaign-finance protections."

Larry Lessig writes 
<http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/10/obamas-lawyer-should-have-used-originalism-to-sway-originalist-justices/280462/> 
for the Atlantic.

I've expressed my deep 
<http://www.harvardlawreview.org/issues/126/december12/Book_Review_9410.php> 
skepticism <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2220851> 
of this position.

Larry submitted an amicus brief with CAC on this.  Surely Justice Scalia 
is familiar with the arguments. If he was swayed even the slightest by 
the argument, it was not evident at oral argument.

UPDATE: Josh Blackman comments.
