City Club Missoula Forum – Judge Molloy: Supreme Court likely to strike down state spending ban

The federal judge offered his personal opinion during a wide-ranging lunch discussion at City Club of Missoula that nonetheless managed to sidestep perhaps the one issue more controversial than the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United campaign finance decision.

"You can get up and leave if you want," Molloy announced before launching into his remarks, "but I’m not going to talk about wolves."

No one left.
