Interesting tidbit about Chief Justice Roberts and Solicitor General Elena Kagan:
Quote:
And he openly ridiculed her contention that corporations’ political spending had to be curbed in order to protect stockholders who may not share the political positions the corporation was taking. He said she was making an “extraordinarily paternalistic” argument, akin to arguing that “Big Brother” had to “protect shareholders from themselves.” The Chief Justice also commented: “We don’t put our First Amendment rights in the hands of bureaucrats.”
