In an extraordinary session on September 8, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Citizens United v. FEC. At issue, according to Scotusblog writer Lyle Denniston, is whether "the Court was ready to overturn two of its precedents -- one from 1990, the other from 2003 -- upholding such limitations" on congressional restrictions of corporate influence in campagins for the Presidency and Congress. Also see an op-ed by Ted Olson, who argued the case for Citizens United and hopes for a possible "free speech do-over."
