On Tuesday, March 24, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Citizens United v FEC, the case on how the federal campaign finance laws apply to movies with a political point of view. The AP ran this story about the case on March 22.

Arguably, this could be tricky because most films and or television shows have some sort of political message, even if they simple take for granted certain laws, institutions and or polices.
Some films and or television programs are more political then others.
Constitutionally I am less concered with the specific, protected content of a film or television show and much more when it comes to having some level of transparency and accountability involved.
Maybe the first amendment should be followed and campain finance laws declared unconstitutional.
Tried and failed.

Well, the First Amendment — Heck, the entire Constitution — has little explitily to say about American citizens civic rights.
Furthermore, the Court has refused to look at elections as primarily an exercise in the First Amendment.
My suggestion; back my proposed Civic Liberty Amendment and ask your elected representatives to introduce and or support it!
