He’s not!!! I hear this from progressives as well and it baffles the HELL out of me. Like... have you read his opinions? They’re just dripping with condescension and plain meanness. That’s not wit. He also argues from disgust a LOT, which sort of contradicts the restrained “laws, not men” readings that he swears he…

Bit late, but this press release just arrived in my box from Larry Klayman.

You are correct that there were individual Plaintiffs who brought the case, but the case and the arguments were developed by a group called the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which is funded by a conglomeration that can be best described as “as evil as evil corporations get” and bankrolled by the Koch brothers.
