3. It Was-Go Read the Opinion

Its right there on page 1

"In January 2008, appellant Citizens United, a nonprofit corporation, released a documentary (hereinafter Hillary) critical of thenSenator Hillary Clinton, a candidate for her party’s Presidential nomination. Anticipating that it would make Hillary available on cable television through video-on-demand within 30 days of primary elections, Citizens United produced television ads to run on broadcast and cable television. Concerned about possible civil and criminal penalties for violating §441b, it sought declaratory and injunctive relief, arguing that (1) §441b is unconstitutional as applied to Hillary; and (2) BCRA’s disclaimer, disclosure, and reporting requirements, BCRA §§201 and 311, were unconstitutional as applied to Hillary and the ads. The District Court denied Citizens United a preliminary injunction and granted appellee Federal Election Commission (FEC) summary judgment. Held: 1. Because the question whether §441b applies to Hillary cannot be resolved on other, narrower grounds without chilling political speech, this Court must consider the continuing effect of the speech suppression upheld in Austin. Pp. 5–20."

[NV Whino]

10. That one had me scratching my head.

[one_voice]

11. It was.

In the case the conservative lobbying group Citizens United wanted to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or "BCRA&quot .[4] Section 203 of BCRA defined an "electioneering communication" as a broadcast, cable, or satellite communication that mentioned a candidate within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary, and prohibited such expenditures by corporations and unions. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia held that §203 of BCRA applied and prohibited Citizens United from advertising the film Hillary: The Movie in broadcasts or paying to have it shown on television within 30 days of the 2008 Democratic primaries.[1][5] The Supreme Court reversed this decision, striking down those provisions of BCRA that prohibited corporations (including nonprofit corporations) and unions from making independent expenditures and "electioneering communications".[4] The majority decision overruled Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce (1990) and partially overruled McConnell v. Federal Election Commission (2003).[6] The Court, however, upheld requirements for public disclosure by sponsors of advertisements (BCRA §201 and §311). The case did not involve the federal ban on direct contributions from corporations or unions to candidate campaigns or political parties, which remain illegal in races for federal office.[7]

That's how it happened.

[dinkytron]

12. That speech was get when Bernie said it.

And its great now.

[Nanjeanne]

14. Who runs her campaign?

She is a smart and savvy woman.

Is this desperation that hurls her to say such ridiculous things?

Is it just she is so 1990s and the time has passed her by?

I just don't get what is happening with her. But then in 2008 it was the same thing.

[pacalo]

15. Shhh -- we're not supposed to know better.

[INdemo]

16. Yes she said that..but she also said it came about because the Right Wing Republicans

used the unlimited funds to attack her...OMG..That was deep and that was heavy..
hunt: Whomever her speech writer is ya better replace them now because Bill and Hillary that was total BS and you wont live that one down for a long long while.

[djean111]

17. Citizens United did come about because of Hillary.

That's how much, it seems to me, that she is hated by the GOP.
And that's why I believe Bernie has a better chance of getting some of his platform accomplished in Congress; i feel the only things that Hillary could get done are things that the GOP and the DINOs want.

[JTFrog]

18. It was. Look up the case.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. but she takes their money - a lot!

[Ruby the Liberal]

20. She's right. It was the Hillary movie that became CU

An attack "documentary" about her from 2006 (2007?) ended up at SCOTUS under a 1A fight. They won.

[mahina]

23. I thought it was- originally.

[senz]

24. Looks like she's wearing a clerical collar. A halo would have been too obvious, I guess.

[gyroscope]

27. She is the biggest beneficiary of Citizens United

how could it possibly be an "attack" whatever that means??

[Baitball Blogger]

28. I think you mean rein in.

[SDjack]

29. HR is destroying CU by bleeding them dry. /nt
