The attack on Biden’s Supreme Court nominee has begun, spearheaded by the Judicial Crisis Network, and it all boils down to one thing: dark money.
Can we start with the fact that the Judicial Crisis Network is not even a real organization, but a “fictitious name” of another organization, one of several “fictitious names”?
Throw in the secret donors, and it’s so gross it would gag a maggot.

In 2011, the Supreme Court’s conservative justices opened the floodgates for dark money with Citizens United, allowing unlimited spending in our politics. Right away, a network of right-wing groups, donors, and non-profits sprung up and got to work.
The Judicial Crisis Network is one of those groups. In 2016, they spent $7 million to attack Garland, and $10 million to boost Gorsuch.When it came to Barrett and Kavanaugh, they threw down a combined $20 million to launch media firestorms.
Now, @judicialnetwork is pulling an old propaganda trick – accuse your opponent of what you, yourself, have done. These groups are rolling in dark money, but still try to tarnish Biden’s nominee — before she’s even named. Pay attention; it’s going to get ugly.
