Reflecting on the latest U.S. Supreme Court ruling on political contributions, with help from William Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” :

“The world is still deceived with ornament.

“In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt

“But, being season’d with a gracious voice,

“Obscures the show of evil?”

Some things never seem to change.
