Wow. Naval Academy prof to their 3-star Admiral in his letter of resignation: "your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Mein Kampf"
Prof McBride, USNA 1974, PhD Johns Hopkins, went on to say, “Your acquiescence was a repudiation of the Naval Academy’s historic mission. You may take some solace that the removal of these books was a lawful order. However, such an interpretation runs contrary to larger Constitutional issues ..

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
