Sunday, May 20, 2012

Dear Internet:


Presumably this was O'Reilly's last Fox broadcast.

1. How Long Was 89 Year Old John Paul Stevens's Dissent in Citizens United?
Answer: 90 pages.

Stevens’s conclusion was despairing. “At bottom, the Court’s opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt,” he wrote. “It is a strange time to repudiate that common sense. While American democracy is imperfect, few outside the majority of this Court would have thought its flaws included a dearth of corporate money in politics.”
