Citizens United v. FEC

The video discusses the Citizens United v. FEC case, where Citizens United challenged the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) to release a documentary critical of Hillary Clinton. The District Court ruled against them, but they appealed to the Supreme Court. In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Citizens United, citing the First Amendment's free speech clause, allowing corporations and unions to spend unlimited money on political campaigns. The decision sparked ongoing debate and protests, with dissenting opinions calling for a constitutional amendment to limit money in politics.
