When the Supreme Court ended its term last week, its ruling extending gun rights was the big news. But the real headline of the term was the court's decision earlier this year giving corporations and unions sweeping new rights to spend money to elect candidates to office. It is nrabroad
an overstatement to say that the 5 to 4 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which was handed down in January, could permanently change American democracy.
When the Citizens United case was working its way through the courts, it seemed like a limited dispute over the fine points of campaign-finance law. But the court blew it up into something larger, asking the parties to submit briefs reconsidering a doctrine that had been settled law for more than half a century: that corporations and labor unions are nrabroad
allowed to spend money on federal elections. (See four myths about Supreme Court nominees.)
The parties raced to finish their briefs last summer, and the court set the case down for oral argument before the term officially began in October

Free speech wasn't a gift to lead us into an egalitarian socialist paradise.
Free speech is a right that all people have that the government has no authority to restrict. That includes corporations, because corporations are composed of - are you ready? - PEOPLE.

No new rights were provided. They just ruled the restrictions on the rights they already had were unconstitutional.
