There's this guy, Bill Clark.
He's a Montana copper magnate.
Almost literally bought and sold the legislature of Montana, controlled the newspapers too, him and the other Copper Kings.
And it reached a point where the corruption was so extreme, so it just stank so much that
Montana kind of overthrew it.
They passed this law, the Corrupt Practices Act, I think of 1912.
It stood as kind of a model of campaign finance legislation, passed in 1912, and it lasted until it met the John Roberts Supreme Court and Citizens United.
But anyway, I mentioned all this to say, like, that's obviously not like democratic territory in Montana, but I think there's a good chance that this thing will pass.
And there certainly was a lot of support for it on the ground.
So I think this can be a unifying issue.
There shouldn't be anything partisan about political reform, at least some of these basic reforms I think most of us think we ought to do.
What sense does it make that you could have two people who are both bartenders or soldiers or whatever who live together?
100 yards apart from each other, but one of them's on the D.C.
side of that neighborhood and the other one's on the Maryland or Virginia side.
And one of them gets to have two senators and a member of Congress and the other one doesn't.
It makes no sense, which is at a very fundamental level unfair.
So again, it's not just the wrong number of justices on the Supreme Court.
We probably got the wrong number of House members in the House and we got the wrong number of states in the union.
Some of this other stuff, though, is going to be tough to get to the Supreme Court.
All this stuff is going to be tough.
