Summary
House Democrats, led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, introduced the We the People Amendment to overturn Citizens United, aiming to curb corporate influence in elections.
The constitutional amendment asserts that constitutional rights apply only to individuals, not corporations, and mandates full disclosure of political contributions.
Jayapal cited Elon Musk’s massive campaign spending and subsequent financial gains as proof of the ruling’s harm.
Advocacy groups praised the move, calling it necessary to combat corporate power and dark money in politics, but Republicans have not backed the proposal.
How many times did republicans try to impeach Biden? How many times does SOPA come back? Or attempts to remove E2EE? They should keep trying on important issues like citizens united.
They will doge this question because they feel the need to simp for a party who would gladly put them into Gitmo if it meant 0.1% gains in polls.
