Just a little reminder about Citizens United.

First, good on Bernie to agree with the vast majority of Democrats who repudiate this ruling.

Lest we forget, this is what the ruling was about:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, No. 08-205, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a U.S. constitutional law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.

In the case, the conservative lobbying group Citizens United wanted to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or "BCRA&quot .

It's a shame to have to post this, but the bickering is embarrassing.
