There's an undercurrent of special pleading in this reporting: conservative judicial activism is what got us into this mess and the last decade has seen conservative groups trounce progressive ones in terms of raising "dark" money, but it's suddenly a problem when a progressive foreigner plays by the same rules. Hmm.

And in case it isn't clear: I'd like to ban all private money from public elections. But there's a clear bias in the reporting here, which is unfortunately consistent with RCP "losing the plot" w/r/t being a nonpartisan news source.
