3. I don't really see any difference either. They were able to get around the "intent"
easily enough with the shell groups. And even when they were caught doing something technically illegal, it was not until after an election and the worst they suffered was some minor fine.

Maybe it is just an in-your-face "fuck you" to those who might try and rein them in. And maybe they will now be able to do their shit more straight-forwardly, without having to bother with creating the phony front-groups. And maybe these "expenses" will be tax deductible now as well.

But, if it riles up more people, I am all for it.
