was not a Supreme Court decision that left analysts on the fence.
Opponents called the 5-4 vote that lifted restrictions on political
donations a blow to free speech, and supporters declared it a
long-overdue liberation from an unconstitutional gag order. The 2010 decision
overturned two precedents and a portion of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign
Act that was designed to restrict how much money corporations could
pour into election efforts. These same precedents, Citizens supporters
note, also reined in donations from labor unions and not-for-profit
501(c) organizations. Tempers were hot when the decision initially came down,
and the comments below show that, a year later, they are still not cool-to-the-touch.
