JIMENEZ-ESCLUSA, Héctor. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, Corruption and Voting Rights Legislation in the United States. Díkaion [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.2, pp.373-399. Epub 17-Dez-2021. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2021.30.2.3.
This article studies the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling issued by the Scotus as a mechanism to legalize advocacy groups' unrestrictive influence on United States politics. The hypothesis here entails that the judiciary has legalized a corrupt practice reflected in restrictive voting legislation pushed forward by the Republican Party. The article first crafts a frame of reference to display definitions, then describes the background and context of the decision itself, and finally, considers the last two outcomes of the ruling: dark money rising influence on US politics and advocacy groups' unlimited influence on currently restrictive voting legislation.
