DRI Report: US justice system is critically threatened by possible large scale judicial campaign contributions

From a Justice at Stake GavelGrab blog article, which offers reader commenting-- for details and a link to a summary of the report, please read the entire article.
"A DRI report confirms that large scale contributions to judicial campaigns in the US have reached unprecedented levels since the US Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, posing critical threats to the notion of judicial independence and the integrity of the American civil justice system."
This judicial campaign finance issue has been woefully neglected in the mainstream media.  A continuation of this trend of larger campaign contributions will result in a much greater impact on elected judiciary than the American voter presently expects.

Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
