Packing DC USCA May Hamper Reforms



U.S. Court of Appeals, Washington DC

[From article]
A shadowy network of wealthy liberal donors bankrolled an operation to pack one of America’s most powerful courts with progressive judges, according to documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Now the effort could prevent an Obamacare challenge from reaching the Supreme Court, legal experts say.
The strategy to fill the D.C. Court of Appeals with left-leaning judges was aided by the American Constitution Society, a non-profit group that “promotes a progressive vision of the law.” The ACS is funded in part by the Democracy Alliance, a liberal donor network that funnels millions to a web of 
dark-money member groups.
