They ate covering their own future ass's with this decision. Might as well throw the bribery laws out the window now.

The other branches should assert that such "legalization" is, in fact, illegal. The left should support a kitchen-sink approach to fighting this Court: congressional investigations, DOJ corruption probes, rejection of judicial review (see: prospect.org/justice/the-...), Court packing—try everything.
