2. Why do you assume it will only be republicans that cash in?
We have plenty of Democrats who have their hand out too and are only to willing to push their agenda.

Bankruptcy Law
Telecom immunity
Blackwater contracts
Health Insurance/Pharmaceutical companies (too many deals to list)
oh... and lest I forget... Investment Banks (cough, Goldman Sachs, cough)
Mining interests

(must stop as I keep typing crude phrases to describe these "representatives").

the only ones to complain about the SCOTUS ruling are Democrats. McConnell spoke in favor of it immediately.
