Musing on Citizens United.
One of the issues below in Citizens United was that it objected to being compelled to put a disclaimer on ads for its movie about H.R.Clinton.
It lost below, and this issue was not part of the cert grant.
Word on the street is that it is likely that Citizens will win at the Supreme Court,
whether in a major or minor way. If so, does that vacate the prior lower court ruling, so that Citizens can reopen the disclaimer issue in continued litigation?
I don't really understand how the procedural issues work out here.
Also, if they continue the case, it'll be interesting to see who will be their lawyer.
I'm not sure Ted Olsen will stick around after the Supreme Court part of the case.
