    "Insurer-Backed Health Care Ad Illustrates Opaque Finance System"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=63749>

Posted on July 25, 2014 12:50 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=63749>by 
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/26/us/politics/insurer-backed-health-care-ad-illustrates-opaque-finance-system.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpSum&module=second-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news>:

    The largely hidden role of the for-profit health insurers highlights
    the increasingly confusing world of campaign finance, as nonprofit
    groups like the National Federation of Independent Business
    <http://www.nfib.com/> and its Voice of Free Enterprise program can
    keep their donor lists secret, and then present their carefully
    crafted message, financed in large part by big business, as if it is
    coming from, perhaps, a more sympathetic voice....The Arkansas
    television advertisement, run in December, featured John Parke, the
    chief operating office of Democrat Printing and Lithographing
    Company in Little Rock, Arkansas, a 143-year-old, family-run company.

    "We are a small business that has been part of the central Arkansas
    community for four generations," Mr. Parke says in the ad, paid for
    by Voice of Free Enterprise, which features scenes of worn-out
    printing presses and laborers hard at work. "What Obamacare means
    for Arkansas small businesses is tough choices, the mandates, the
    increased costs, the increased taxes."

    But tax records filed late last year by the group show $1.593
    million of the organization's $4.9 million in revenue came from an
    anonymous donor in 2012, the largest single contribution.

    That is the exact amount that America's Health Insurance Plans, a
    trade association run by top executives from companies including
    Aetna and United Health Care, lists as having spent on "advocacy
    organizations as part of its advocacy efforts on issues associated
    with reform of the nation's health care system." The tax return
    prepared separately by America's Health Insurance Plans does not
    disclose that it donated the money to, or at least spent it in
    collaboration with, the Voice of Free Enterprise.

    How Much Weight to Give to Gruber's Statements? Not Much
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=63736>

Posted on July 25, 2014 9:04 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=63736>by 
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

There's a great irony in those 
<http://www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/383734/obamacare-architect-embraced-anti-subsidy-reading-ed-whelan>who 
up until yesterday supported the DC Circuit's strict textualist reading 
of the ACA now pointing to a statement made by a supporter of the law 
involved in its drafting as evidence of the statute's meaning. (Never 
mind that Gruber now says his statement was a mistake 
<http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/jonathan-gruber-explains-obamacare-halbig-video>.)

Of course, for textualists, the statements of anyone about the meaning 
of a statute would seem to be irrelevant (except, according to Justice 
Scalia, such statements might be admissible to prove that a seemingly 
absurd reading of a text was actually what was intended).

What about for those who rely on legislative history?  For the great 
majority of judges who do rely on legislative history, committee reports 
are considered the most reliable. Statements of individual legislators 
are the least reliable. The statement of Gruber seems less reliable 
still of evidence of the intent of Congress.

There have been some occasions where judges have relied on statements on 
nonlegislative drafters, but they are controversial.  There is a good 
discussion in the leading Legislation casebook on this question, 
Eskridge, Frickey and Garrett, at 1018-20 (notes following Kosak case.) 
A snippet which comes after explaining why statements of nonlegislative 
/drafters/ of legislation should not be given much weight:

    Notwithstanding these objections, the Supreme Court or individual
    Justices have occasionally relied on statements by public,
    nonlegislative officials who draft or promote statutes. [Citations.]
    Note, however, that (as in /Kosak/) the Court will not rely on these
    statements as the most probative --- and certainly not the */only
    /*/-- /evidence of statutory meaning. There are very few state
    cases; almost all of them either reject or denigrate such evidence.
    [Citations.]...

    At least [the person whose testimony was relied on in Kosak] was a
    public servant. Should the Court consider authoritative the
    statements of interest groups which draft and press legislation? In
    some instances the Court or some Justices have considered testimony
    about legislation by private groups or individuals who drafted or
    commented on the legislation.

[Original emphasis]

UPDATE: Ed Whelan responds, <http://t.co/C3CcvwA3QU>going with the 
anti-absurdity point.

Bloomberg BNA 
<http://news.bna.com/mpdm/MPDMWB/split_display.adp?fedfid=50494107&vname=mpebulallissues&jd=a0f3u4w2g7&split=0>:

    Lawyers for the Federal Election Commission and the Republican
    National Committee are arguing in court about whether a new RNC
    lawsuit challenging the ban on unlimited "soft money" contributions
    to political parties should be heard under expedited procedures,
    including convening a special, three-judge court (RNC v. FEC,
    D.D.C., No. 14-853, hearing 7/16/14).

    The outcome of the procedural dispute could have a major impact on
    how fast the case gets resolved. If the case is heard by a
    three-judge court, that court's ruling could immediately be appealed
    to the Supreme Court, giving the high court a chance to overturn the
    soft-money ban.

I'd go even further than Bloomberg's reporter Ken Doyle. If this comes 
up from a three judge court, the Supreme Court will almost certainly 
take it, because a decision on an appeal IS a decision on the merits 
(unlike denial of a cert. petition in the usual course).  That's why 
this fight matters so much. (Here's more onthis inside baseball point 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=60392>about the difference between 
appeals and cert. denials.)

The anti-McDaniel "Y'all Politics" says 
<http://yallpolitics.com/index.php/yp/post/38795/>"According to McDaniel

supposed to see the formal protest to the MS GOP executive committee 
followed immediately by a lawsuit. "
