Pope, in fact, helped fund the legal center run by James Bopp, the lawyer who made the initial filing in the Citizens United case.
If such a comet were the size of Hale-Bopp, Eichler says, the resulting solar flare would by far be the largest ever observed.

It was two amateurs, for example, who discovered the Hale-Bopp comet in 1995.
They believed that they were about to be taken to a higher level by a spacecraft travelling in the wake of the Hale-Bopp comet.
In 1978, Bopp became the general counsel to the full National Right to Life Committee.
Or so says David Eichler, lead author of a forthcoming Astrophysical Journal Letters paper positing that a sun-grazing comet roughly the size of Hale-Bopp (with a nucleus some 30 kms in diameter), could trigger cosmic ray-generating shockwaves large enough to initiate a global electromagnetic Armageddon.

Bopp wanted to argue that the McCain-Feingold ban on issue advertisements violated the First Amendment.
Bopp knew that he had an important advantage over the failed challenge to McCain-Feingold in 2003.
Most are transient visitors to the vicinity of earth their orbits are so long that many of those arriving now (such as Hale-Bopp) must have made any previous visit to the inner solar system before the beginning of recorded history.
The McCain-Feingold law prompted the right-to-life group in Wisconsin to go to Bopp with a problem.
Crewe needed Nottingham Forest or Ipswich to score against the Gills or Brighton respectively - and with less than 10 minutes remaining, Forest obliged through Eugen Bopp.
