"Democrats introduce constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United"

[archives]

"Senate Democrats introduced a constitutional amendment on Tuesday to undo the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision."

"The 2010 Supreme Court ruling prohibited the government from limiting spending by companies, nonprofit organizations and unions on political campaign advertisements. The court's majority wrote that such provisions would inhibit freedom of speech."

"Few decisions in the 200 and some odd years of this republic have threatened our democracy like Citizens United. People say they want to get rid of the swamp. Citizens United is the embodiment of the swamp," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer"

Obviously isn't going to go anywhere as an Amendment, nor as we saw in 2014 any similar legislation thanks to Mitch, but if the Democrats did somehow capture the Senate in 2020 plus Presidency, a legislative measure would surely move forward. Surely the lawsuits would follow, but the topic would become transparent to the American public
