My Favorite Quote from "Citizens United v. FEC"

[alanesq]

From Justice Kennedy's majority opinion.The law before us is an outright ban, backed by criminal sanctions. Section 441b makes it a felony for all corporations-including nonprofit advocacy corporations either to expressly advocate the election or defeat of candidates or to broadcast electioneering communications within 30 days of a primary election
