(The Center Square) – Two new reports from consumer advocacy group Alliance for Consumers show that what the group calls the “Shady Eight" trial law firms have donated almost exclusively to Democrats and liberal allies.
Executive director of Alliance for Consumers O.H. Skinner told The Center Square that his organization’s recent reports “reveal the left’s weaponization of the judicial system to further their woke agenda.”
