Hmmm, how feasible do you reckon it would be to start using the same "buy data from third parties" on these senators and Supreme Court judges?
And probably do the same for the (registered) lobbyists and political donors, then look for after hours instances where the data shows their location being very close / overlapping.
Or something along those lines anyway. Would probably take a bunch more thinking about + some test investigation. ;)

What is the point of shouting with placards when you can invest the donations to setting up legitimate companies that can do data collection on the lawmakers, following the current law, and then just publicize it. See how quickly the law changes (though instead of changes for the general public, it'll probably be in terms of just adding exclusionary clauses for lawmakers e.g. like how insider trading is rampant among them and nobody gets thrown into jail for doing it while I have to sit through yearly preaching organized by my company about what a terrible, horrible, bad thing it is).
