That article makes an excellent point about the money in politics and how wrong it is. Is it one sided in that it is only talking about the dems money machine sure but that is where someone can post how the money machine affects the republican side as well. The bottom line is that our elections have gotten way out of whack with too much money buying races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a landmark U.S. constitutional law, campaign finance, and corporate law case dealing with regulation of political campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held (5–4) on January 21, 2010, that the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for communications by nonprofit corporations, for-profit corporations, labor unions, and other associations.[2][3] Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court of the United States Argued March 24, 2009 Reargued September 9, 2009 Decided January 21, 2010 Full case name Citizens United, Appellant v. Federal Election Commission Docket nos. 08-205 Citations 558 U.S. 310 (more) 130 S. Ct. 876; 175 L.

Supp. 2d 274 (D.D.C. 2008);[1]probable jurisdiction noted, 555 U.S. 1028 (2008). Holding The provisions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act restricting unions, corporations, and profitable organizations from independent political spending and prohibiting the broadcasting of political media funded by them within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary election violate the First Amendment's protections of freedom of speech. United States District Court for the District of Columbia reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the conservative courts doing......fuk u cal This is from Vox which as you probably know already is not a right wing site: Citizens United is not to blame for the money-in-politics problem - Vox It’s time for liberals to get over Citizens United Most widespread in liberal circles is the idea that Citizens opened the floodgates to massive amounts of corporate spending in politics. But as many legal scholars have argued, the floodgates were already open. Citizens is not responsible for the massive amounts of money showered on favored candidates. Nor is it responsible for the rise of so-called dark money in politics. https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2018/5/7/17325486/citizens-united-money-politics-dark-money-vouchers-primaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
