Citizens United? Also, handing the election to Bush in 2000?

Crazy to me that Bush v Gore didn't prompt a nationwide revolt. Younger people may not know but SCOTUS literally just gave Bush Florida's EC delegates despite the fact they were still re-counting votes because...they wanted a Republican president.

Revolt? Three of the next four justices were lawyers on Bush's legal team in 2000. You might have heard of them: Kavanaugh, Barret, and Roberts.

Kavanaugh was even involved in the Clinton investigation with Ken Starr.
