So are you stupid, malicious, or a lawyer? I don't mean the term precedent as in the specifics of this legal case.

What I meant was that before this case ....there were a variety of limits and checks regarding money in politics from a variety of sources... and especially regarding corporate donations.... And after the case was ruled this way... money flowed in a way that it hasnt in 100 years prior. Any attempt to deny this is just criminal.

Citizens United didn't overturn any other precedent, didn't alter any rules regarding corporate campaign donations (which are still entirely prohibited!), and everything went back to the way it was pre-2002, before any attempts to censor speech under the guise of regulating campaign donations were made.

Your facts are just straight-up wrong.
