Video Paints Johnson as a Corporate Crony

By Tiffany Vu July 28, 2010



Last night a brand-new website called Injustice Johnson put out a video hitting Supreme Court Justice Jim Johnson for taking big money from corporations and special interest groups.

The website is sponsored by Fuse Votes, a progressive group which contributed $82.66 to an Independent Expenditure campaign against Johnson. (YouTube is cheap.)

But there's a bigger IE coming: a mailer funded by Impartial Justice, a PAC dedicated to running Johnson out of office.

Impartial Justice raised $160,000 in the last Public Disclosure Commission report. All the money came from FairPAC, according to Impartial Justice consultant Lisa MacLean. (Campaign finance reports only show $90,000 from FairPAC currently).

FairPAC is  a collection of mostly left-leaning orgs like SEIU (which contributed $50,000 this year) and the Washington Education Association ($55,000 this year). FairPAC was founded in 2006 to support left-leaning judges, according to the Seattle PI.
