In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

The plaintiffs in citizens United (which btw was a non profit) in essence sued because they wanted to be treated the same way as Michael Moore and the backers of Farhrenheit 911 were treated when that film was advertised within 60 days of an election.

The FEC claimed the cases were different because Moore is a “bonafide filmmaker” - as if a “bonafide” can’t make a film advocating for a particular candidate. The SC called bull**** - rightly.
