No, I will not explain what kryptonite is. You should
know that already.
So here's the story. Back in 2010, the Supreme Court heard a case known as Citizens United V. The Federal Electoral Commission. Citizens United is a conservative group that wanted to air a movie about Hillary Clinton that they had creatively titled Hillary: The Movie. The strange part of all this was that they wanted to air it back in 2008 - the appeal didn't reach SCOTUS for about a year and a half.
It's really all convoluted. The history of the case is so twisted and ridiculous, I'm surprised that the higher courts are able to remember what it is they are voting on. I kid you not, SCOTUS benched the case in August of '08, heard oral arguments in March of '09, and then issued an order in June of '09 for the parties to reargue their cases in September of '09. The vote, by the way, wasn't made until January of 2010.
