Pewgate Conspirators Buy Supreme Court

It would seem that the tentacles of the Pewgate octopus reach even unto the once-hallowed halls of the U.S. Supreme Court. According to Pewgate conspirator Sean Treglia, money from Pewgate-linked foundations paid for legal research the results of which weighed heavily in the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the McCain-Feingold Act. John Fund writes in the OpinionJournal.com of March 21:

"Not only did the [Pewgate] effort succeed in bulldozing Congress and President Bush, but it might have played a role in persuading the Supreme Court, which had previously ruled against broad restrictions on political speech, to declare McCain-Feingold constitutional in 2003 on a 5-4 vote. `You will see that almost half the footnotes relied on by the Supreme Court in upholding the law are research funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts,' Mr. Treglia boasted."

In fact, many of the legal arguments upon which the Supreme Court based its December 10, 2003 decision upholding McCain-Feingold derived from data now deemed to have been fraudulent – said data having been cooked up by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School, a Soros-funded operation which received millions in Pewgate lucre.

The Brennan Center, which promotes radical judicial activism designed to circumvent the Constitution, has recieved more than $3.3 million in funding from George Soros's Open Society Institute since 1999.
