What was Citizens United about?

A conservative nonprofit group called Citizens United challenged campaign finance rules after the FEC stopped it from promoting and airing a film criticizing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton too close to the presidential primaries.

A 5–4 majority of the Supreme Court sided with Citizens United, ruling that corporations and other outside groups can spend unlimited money on elections.

The dipshit Musk must've forked over a billion, with all the ad spending Team Traitor made in the swing states. In Detroit, the Kamala-is-for-free-taxpayer-financed-transgender-surgery-for-inmates advertisement kept Black women from voting for a Black woman -- heard one church-going lady say so on the local public radio station. Oh well, Musk's "worth" has gone up $70 billion in the past month.
