"As a private attorney, Miller advertises legal services ranging from wills and divorces
to criminal defense. Miller’s first career was in banking before he made a mid-career swap
to law, attending Florida Coastal School of Law, a private, for-profit law school that
closed its doors in 2020 amid accreditation issues and a class action lawsuit filed by
former students."

Put very simply, conservatives sued to use dark money and liberals sued to stop them. The
SCOTUS ruled for the conservatives. Now, when liberals use dark money, conservatives
complain they're not playing fair. That about right?
