@alwillis Well I don't know about the rest of us, but what that headline is doing is misreporting Supreme Court decisions, it seems 🙂
No, the Supreme Court did not wipe out anti-corruption laws here. That's not what the ruling said. What it says was that Congress changed the law decades ago so that it applied to some cases but not others, and the Supreme Court simply respected that legislation.
The Supreme Court didn't make the change. The people that we elected to Congress made that change. And if we don't like it, we should probably elect better people.
But this headline is completely wrong compared to the actual opinion, and it's this kind of thing that leads so many to lose faith in journalism today.
@volkris I don’t know… it doesn’t look good for #scotus

@alwillis yes, LOOKS.
These headlines are misreporting what happened. They LOOK bad, but what can you do? The opinion is public, so anyone interested can go see what they said for themselves.
But if people are going to believe these headlines despite the Court itself saying the exact opposite, well, I don't know what more can be done to get past the looks.
