Sen. Whitehouse on why WSJ opinion keeps mentioning him




You may have noticed that @WSJopinion mentioned me no less than 5 times in 2 weeks. What the heck is going on?

Turns out they don’t like it when someone starts pointing out all the dark money mischief surrounding our courts.

Good for him! I am so glad to hear someone calling out the Federalist Society et al. He did an excellent job of explaining their dark money ties and influence over judge selection. I hope he keeps pushing on this issue.

The dark money cabals are a serious threat to the continuation of our democracy. Is his brief online anywhere to read?
