Below are links to a number of articles and/or posts regarding Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, currently pending before the Supreme Court. The Washington Post stated: "In a surprise move on the last day of the term, the court announced that it would hold a new argument in the case -- and that it would consider overruling two precedents upholding limits on corporate money in the political process."
The rehearing is set for argument on September 9, 2009. The issue in the case is: "Whether federal campaign finance laws apply to a critical film about Senator Hillary Clinton intended to be shown in theaters and on-demand to cable subscribers."
