The Citizens United v. FEC case (2010) decided that financial contributions to political
campaigns are a form of free speech that cannot be limited. One result of this Supreme
Court
decision has been the rise of "Super PACS" that spend massive sums of money
on media
commercials designed to influence potential voters? Do you agree with the
the Supreme Court's judgment on this issue? Why do you think that lawmakers should
(or, should not) limit the amount of money that private citizens can spend in order to
gain political influence?
