Citizens United: The view from the ivory tower has a blind spot | TheHill

This historic drive for the 28th Amendment is a wonderful sign that we Americans still have what it takes to block attempts to enshrine inequality and privilege into Constitutional doctrine.  But two very small and unduly powerful elites aren’t happy. One of those, of course, is the 1 percent who use campaign contributions and Super PACs to gain access and influence in Washington. The second one is a set of liberal law professors that include Kent Greenfield at Boston College, Rick Hasen at University of California-Irvine, and sometimes, when he is not saying he favors an amendment, Larry Lessig at Harvard.
