Meet the Politician Who
Wants to Take Down Citizens United
"[Montana's] history was rooted in corporate domination of elections. ... We have
a real background in the unfortunate effects of unlimited corporate expenditures
in elections and as a result when Citizens United came down dealing with federal
law and federal elections it wasn’t something that I wanted to just give up on
the last hundred years ..." – Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock
'In Montana, Corporations Aren't People'
"The Montana court more or less announced it would uphold that state's
corporate spending ban because they know a lot more about political
corruption than [Supreme Court Justice] Anthony Kennedy does."
– Dahlia Lithwick
