"If supporters of federal curbs on political campaign spending by corporations were counting on Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., to hesitate to strike down such restrictions..."

ADVERTISEMENTS
"... they could take no comfort from the Supreme Court?s 93-minute hearing Wednesday on that historic question.... From all appearances, not one of the nine Justices ? including the newest Justice, Sonia Sotomayor ? appeared to move away from what their positions had been expected in advance to be.... [S]upporters of [campaign finance laws] had fashioned an array of arguments they hoped would lead Roberts and Alito to shy away from casting their votes to create a majority to free corporations to spend their own treasury money to influence federal elections.  None of those arguments seemed to appeal to either Roberts or Alito."
