13. Where Acosta came from...

Jul 2019

Wikipedia: "Following law school, Acosta served as a law clerk to Samuel Alito, then a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, from 1994 to 1995."

Alito, the justice who thinks that free speech means money in any amount from anyone to influence our elections is acceptable. (Citizen's United)

It began with George W. "Acosta served in four presidentially appointed, U.S. Senate-confirmed positions in the George W. Bush Administration." -- Wikipedia

And, George W. is the one who nominated Alito.

Elections matter.
