I hope to read it this weekend.
It's about time someone wrote a book on the /McCutcheon/ decision!

"Rerouting the flow of 'dark money' into political campaign"
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=60033>
Posted on April 3, 2014 8:34 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=60033>by
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>
Heather Gerken, Wade Gibson, and Webb Lyons have written this WaPo oped.
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/rerouting-the-flow-of-dark-money-int%20o-political-campaigns/2014/04/03/1517ac6e-b906-11e3-9a05-c739f29ccb08_story%20.html>
A snippet:
Unless and until Congress and the Supreme Court fundamentally change
the regulatory environment, proposals like the IRS's won't stop the
flow of money; they'll just reroute it. The story of 2016 and 2020
will be the same as in 2012, except with a different set of
organizations serving donors' needs. Given the hydraulics of
campaign finance reform, we should focus not on stemming the flow of
money but rather on directing it toward greater transparency.
Here is one simple proposal for doing so: Congress should require
that any advertisement funded directly or indirectly by a group that
does not disclose its donors acknowledge that fact. This
"nondisclosure disclosure" would be simple and truthful: "This ad
was paid for by 'X,' which does not disclose the identity of its
donors." That could help voters figure out how much trust to put in
the ad.
