That’s interesting that the New Yorker states that striking down Arizona’s system will be a benefit to Republicans.  It’s not true, as the Arizona system has been a boon to socially conservative Republicans, but an interesting point nonetheless.  This story, from a progressive local newspaper, points out the real result of the law.

Jeffrey Toobin on The Supreme Court's Campaign Finance Jurisprudence

Here in the New Yorker. He concludes: "So the vulgar truth about Citizens United, the doomed Arizona law, and related future cases remains: the five Justices appointed by Republicans are thrashing the four appointed by Democrats--to the enormous advantage of the G.O.P. Coincidence? You be the judge."
