Kentucky Joins Multi-State Fight Against Citizens United

The case is a long shot, but we now have 22 states on record against the Billionaires Buying Government, which is a big step toward getting an overturning Citizens United plank into the Democratic Party platform before the September convention.

From the AP:

Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia are backing Montana in its fight to prevent the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision from being used to strike down state laws restricting corporate campaign spending.

The states led by New York are asking the high court to preserve Montana's state-level regulations on corporate political expenditures, according to a copy of a brief written by New York's attorney general's office and obtained by The Associated Press. The brief will be publicly released Monday.
