I have not met anyone in the last 20 years who does not think there is at least the appearance of corruption in the way we finance our campaigns.
But as a general matter, I think that you cannot be cowed by the possibility of losing, and we do enough good things and bring enough good cases that we can take a few losses if the cause is right.
I want to make sure that the system is not undermined by judges who may have a different view of the proper role of Government regulation.
That is not an option, and I do not know any serious thinker on either side of the political divide or the ideological divide that believes that we can do away with regulators and do away with regulations.
