In a letter emailed out by the Romney campaign, conservative lawyer James Bopp endorsed Mitt Romney. James Bopp has crusaded against campaign finance laws for decades and filed the Citizens United case that is responsible for the huge amounts of special interest money flooding the election today. Bopp has not only fought against campaign finance restrictions but also disclosure laws. In his endorsement, Bopp cited Romney’s conservative record as governor of Massachusetts as the reason for the endorsement.
