[EL] Breaking News: Summary Reversal in Montana

[BZall at aol.com]

One other element foreclosed is the historical argument: that historical  
evidence of corruption is sufficient alone to justify government regulation 
of  speech. NAMUDNO redux.

    The per curiam decision says that "Montana's  arguments in support of 
the judgment below either were already rejected in  Citizens United or failed 
to meaningfully distinguish that  case."  This closes the door on the 
argument that unique facts in a  certain state can be employed to overturn CU.  
Further, it means  that independent expenditures are never corrupting as a 
matter of law.
 
    Justice Breyer says that there is no prospect  that the majority of the 
Court will reconsider CU.  
 
    This is an excellent result.  Jim Bopp
