In year 2010 the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, held that some government restrictions on corporate funding of independent political broadcasts in candidate elections were unconstitutional (Citizens United versus Federal Election Commission). This controversial decision has been greeted with calls to overturn it by amending the Constitution. Respond to this 3 part problem in your initial post:
