DATE DECIDED 1/21/10 CASE Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission WHAT WAS AT STAKE How much can the government regulate corporate spending in elections? RESULT Not much, according to a 5–4 opinion by Kennedy. RBG SAYS “If there was one decision I would overrule, it would be Citizens United,” RBG told The New Republic. “I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.”
