‘Real News From The Blaze’ on Citizens United and Congressional Democrats Move to Amend The Constitution


Avoiding any serious votes with a 10ft pole before the election, Democrats in the House moved on political posturing and symbolic legislation this week, as Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi joined other congressional Democrats on Wednesday in endorsing a movement to ratify an amendment to the Constitution that would allow Congress to regulate political speech when it is engaged in by corporations as opposed to individuals. The attempt to amend the Constitution is a response to the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case, and is in line with putting the president’s agenda against his presumptive Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, who Democrats so enjoy criticizing for once saying “corporations are people, my friend.”
