From Reason
"'When the government of the United States of America claims the authority to ban books because of their political speech," says Citizens United, " something has gone terribly wrong.' A majority of the U.S. Supreme Court seems to agree.
Next week, for the second time, the Court will hear oral arguments in Citizens United v. FEC, a case that poses the question of whether the Federal Election Commission violated the First Amendment when it prevented the conservative group from showing a highly critical documentary about Hillary Clinton on cable TV during the 2008 primary season. The Court scheduled the unusual second round of arguments after it heard the lengths to which the federal government had been driven in defending its suppression of Hillary: The Movie."
