The U.S. Supreme Court has taken the unusual step of asking for additional argument in the pending "Citizens United" case. That case is all about a commercially- produced movie by Citizens United, a conservative group, that is critical of Hilary Rodham Clinton, a la Michael Moore. Liberals say it violates the Federal Election Commission rules, specially the McCain-Feingold amendments which really increased FEC regulation of political speech. Part of the McCain-Feingold amendments that regulated "issue advocacy" type campaign speech were gutted by the Supreme Court in the "Wisconsin Right to Life" case. With the request for reargument, now the Court is signaling it may be on the precipice of throwing out the heart of the whole darn law!
