A plaintiff's source of funding has no bearing on the facts or validity of a case.

Huh. You must REALLY dislike Harlan Crow and Koch industries, right?

Not to mention Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. That's essentially ALL they do besides helping put unqualified ideologues on the courts.

The Dems had better be getting a plan B candidate lined up. In case Trump is out and another is in. Biden is already weak and somebody else may be needed. Harris IMHO is not the one to be counting on.

You have no idea who I'm "right in there with", and you prove it nearly every time you post.

How would a plaintiff's source of funding affect the facts or the validity of a case? Explain it to me like I'm not up on legalese.
