Repeating and emphasizing earlier statements, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday’s Meet the Press once again denounced the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision for unleashing the flood of money now “washing over politics.” Meanwhile he has endorsed Mitt Romney, a politician with two large super-PACs. Is that ironic?
We can appreciate Mr. McCain’s position, though. He has been very consistent on campaign financing. In fact, he supported the 2002 campaign finance law torn apart by the Courts. That court decision led to the creation of Super-PACs.
