By the middle of the next decade, the U.S. will likely have returned to the campaign finance regime of the 19th century, in which anything went. What Roberts and his allies on and off the Supreme Court have so far ignored, however, is that the system they are dismantling was not created on a whim, but was borne of populist rage at the wholesale purchase of American democracy by a handful of companies and plutocrats. Roberts may want to ignore that history, but he might not have to wait long to watch it unfold again. - Paul Blumenthal
