Twitter Lefties Lose Their Marbles Over SCOTUS Decision On Donor Disclosure
NewsBusters ^ | 7/2/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The U.S. Supreme Court handed a stunning defeat to the enemies of the First Amendment by invalidating a California law forcing nonprofits to disclose their largest donors — and liberals are losing it.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion of the Court in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, Attorney General of California. The syllabus for the opinion reasoned that “California’s disclosure requirement imposes a widespread burden on donors’ associational rights.” It continued: “[T]his burden cannot be justified on the ground that the regime is narrowly tailored to investigating charitable wrongdoing, or that the State’s interest in administrative convenience is sufficiently important.” Leftists on Twitter went berserk.

Journalists called the decision everything from a punch “to democracy” to a move that made “dark money even darker.” This is despite the fact that liberal groups like the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund were in support of the challenge to California’s law.

I think it is time to do away with the FEC and their disclosure requirements. If I give to a candidate, it is full public knowledge and can lead to harassment and threats.

"Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the dissent which was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan."

The left should be elated with the donor disclosure ruling the democrats still don’t have to disclose any China money.

Maybe Roberts wants to be able to donate anonymously to his friendly neighborhood Democrats.
