    Episode 4 – Citizens United & An In-Depth Look At the History of Campaign Finance Reform in America

    Does money buy influence in our political system? You bet. Why can't politicians fix it? Well, it's complicated.... This week on Decisis, we explore the long and winding road of campaign finance reform throughout 20th and 21st century America. We discuss key legislation that attempted to curtail money's influence, and key court cases that tried to reconcile this legislation with the 1st amendment.
