In this week's National Journal, I looked at the legal strategy of campaign-finance law foes, led by Indiana attorney and Republican Party activist James Bopp. Bopp filed the original suit in the Citizens United case, which is having an unusual rehearing today at the Supreme Court. Supporters of campaign finance laws fear the Court's ruling in the case could re-open the floodgates to corporate campaign money. That could be a huge boon to the Republican Party and GOP candidates. Although Bopp lost out on arguing the Citizens United case before the court -- the honor went to  former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson -- Bopp is still  getting his due. Today he was named "Republican Lawyer of the Year" by the board of governors of the Republican National Lawyers Association -- on which he currently serves -- for "his years of service to the Republican Party, and in particular, his outstanding professional accomplishments in support of the party's ideals." He'll also be a featured speaker at the Cato Institute's Constitution Day confab next week.
