I do see a problem with special interest groups. The ones that I see to be a problem are mostly those who seek the shove religion down the throats of the American populous under the guise of freedom and tax concerns. An example of this would be the ruling for Hobby Lobby. To me, it wasn't about the company having a religious view point, or In-n-Out Burgers would have been in the law suit as well given they are owned by deeply religious people as well.
This can cause a problem because it begins to blur the line that is suppose to be finite between church and state. There seems to be this belief that the US was founded on Christian ideals when it wasn't and that is expressly stated that church and state shall be separate. Once special interest groups are made, they can reek havoc on rulings and the political field for years to come. Hobby Lobby's suit caused part of the ACA to be rewritten so that even if employers won't pay for there is an insurance that will and employers can't stop employees from using it.
