as far as you can get,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], geographically and metaphorically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from the wide expanse of Big Sky Country. Judge Rakoff is a gutsy judge -- for example, ten years ago,http://www.ewwealth.com/, in U.S v. Quinones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he declared the federal death penalty to be unconstitutional, only to be overturned on appeal-- but there was little fight in him this time around. In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he dispatched Montana's rationale for the law so briefly, in so few pages, that I had to go back and see if I had missed something the first time around. The judge probably took as little time as he did because he thought the matter a simple one. Quoting Supreme Court precedent, he wrote that "if Montana 'chooses to tap the energy and the legitimizing power of the democratic process, it must accord the participants in that process ... the First Amendment rights that attach to their roles.'" You can't have elections for judges, in other words, unless they look more like political elections. After Citizens United, Montana could derive "no legally cognizable benefit"
