Zac Morgan Says Former Chief Justice Earl Warren Would Have Approved of Citizens United

Four years
have come and gone since the Supreme Court handed down Citizens
United v. FEC, striking down a federal law that prohibited a
corporation from showing a movie critical of then-Senator Hillary
Clinton shortly before the first round of Democratic primaries.
(Although Citizens United intended to air the film in 2008, it had
to wait until the second year of the Obama presidency before
learning the Constitution protected the movie.) If only the Supreme
Court had listened to the wisdom of Chief Justice Earl Warren and
his likeminded justices, we would never have had to deal with
Citizens United. In fact, writes Zac Morgan, had the
Supreme Court listened to Chief Justice Warren, as well as FDR
appointees William O. Douglas and Hugo Black, the holding of
Citizens United would have been the law of the land for
the past 57 years.
