The United States Supreme Court, last Wednesday, revolutionized and reinvigorated free speech protections in its decision Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (558 U.S.____, Docket No. 08-205, January 20, 2010). An excellent legal summary of the decision itself can be found here.
You can spent an hour or two reading a zillion articles to try to figure out what the hell went on.
Or you can watch THIS video, which summarizes it very well in less than five minutes.
I'm not a big fan of the CATO institute--libertarianism is NOT my cuppa tea--but I'm glad they're here to tell us these things.
And I'm glad they now can't ban stuff like this.
