USA
As the 2012 presidential campaign
opened with the early Republican primaries,
it became clear just how deeply
the campaign finance landscape
has been changed
by a 2010 Supreme Court decision,
Citizens United v.
Federal Election Commission.
In the case, a bitterly divided court
ruled 5 to 4 that the government
may not ban independent political spending
by corporations, as well as labor unions
and other organizations,
in candidate elections.
