Montana Campaign Finance Case Summarily Reversed

Predicting the outcome of Supreme Court cases is a hazardous enterprise.  As Jesse Choper quipped, "He who lives by the crystal ball must be prepared to eat ground glass."  But I get a rare chance to avoid the ground glass.  Back in December I posted that the US Supreme Court would summarily reverse the Montana Supreme Court's ruling that Montana had such a history of corruption that Citizens United ought not apply to state campaign finance limits.  It did, 5-4.  You may guess at the voting lineup.  Here's the Supreme Court's opinion.
