The same provision in IL campaign finance law had been successfully overturned this spring is federal district court. The plaintiff was Personal PAC, a wealthy pro-choice lobby group. MT took it all the way to SCOTUS, but the result is the same.

And there you have it, folks. American democracy is dead.

This quote right here. The Supreme Court just ensured that the ultra-rich will be able to control all but a few elections.

But the individual ultra-rich have had that power confirmed to them since the 70's. CU only extends that same ability to groups that together can match the wealth of individuals.
