New research: Citizens United Can Be Made Irrelevant Via Changes To State Corporation Law [View all] MayReasonRule Sunday OP

Nice to have a little hope Easterncedar Sunday #1

We need more ideas like this newdeal2 Sunday #2

Posted here on DU earlier this week mtngirl47 Sunday #16

Indeed, This Is Step #1 MayReasonRule Sunday #17

It's long, long overdue. xuplate Sunday #3

It is! The Citizens United decision happened 15 years ago, and has been destroying our country since. Scrivener7 Sunday #6

So what would be the result if WestMichRad Sunday #4

It appears that if you get Delaware on board, you get the vast majority of corporations. 81% in 2024. Scrivener7 Sunday #7

Great point! WestMichRad Sunday #9

Indeed, That Was My First Thought As Well Until They Mentioned Deleware Within The Audio Summary MayReasonRule Sunday #18

I wonder if this would cause corporations to leave Blue states MadameButterfly Sunday #26

While A Fair Concern... ProfessorGAC Sunday #49

It seems as if Delaware is the most advantageous state for larger companies, Scrivener7 Sunday #54

Very blue state. Delaware voted more than 56% for Harris in 2024 Wednesdays Sunday #59

But to do this, 70sEraVet Sunday #5

But if you got Delaware and the blue states, you cover a lot of the necessary ground. Scrivener7 Sunday #8

Could Delaware lose its status as the preferred state then? Lucky Luciano Sunday #11

That was my first thought as well... SickOfTheOnePct Sunday #12

Instead of corporate loss Marthe48 Sunday #20

OK, but existing corporations probably wouldn't do that right away. Scrivener7 Sunday #13

The report addresses this newdeal2 Sunday #15

But, tell me if I understand this right: a state can regulate a corporation's activities to Scrivener7 Sunday #60

How would a state prevent TV commercials from another state from entering their airwaves? MichMan Sunday #14

Regional ads are used all the time. Add a regulation, and use that same technology. Scrivener7 Sunday #21

Yes, and if you live in the vicinity of a state border, you see or hear them all the time. MichMan Sunday #22

OK. So? Are you saying it shouldn't be done because a few people at the border will Scrivener7 Sunday #24

Because that would be overturned under numerous FCC, interstate commerce, and First Amendment grounds MichMan Sunday #30

What would be overturned? You'd be limiting the money from the corporations being spent anywhere. Scrivener7 Sunday #34

So Illinois could pass a law not allowing a corporation chartered in South Dakota from airing TV ads in Indiana? MichMan Sunday #39

No. It has nothing to do with that. Delaware passes the law. All the corporations that are chartered Scrivener7 Sunday #46

Has Delaware indicated they support it? MichMan Sunday #51

Oh, jeez. Maybe read the article. Scrivener7 Sunday #52

The article doesn't mention the odds of Delaware passing it. MichMan Sunday #53

Well, then, you should call the Center for American Progress and tell them you have more important things to do Scrivener7 Sunday #55

😁😁 MayReasonRule Yesterday #63

It's really a great idea. It doesn't take care of the billionaires and their pacs, but it does Scrivener7 Yesterday #64

Hell Yeah! Thanks Scrivener7! MayReasonRule Yesterday #65

Lol No. What Reeks Of Authoritarianism Is Having The Government Run By Corporations It's The Very Definition Of Fascism MayReasonRule Sunday #28

Waiting to hear how you prevent TV and Radio ads from other states from crossing state lines MichMan Sunday #31

There Are Technological Challenges, Nonetheless This Would Have A Profoundly Positive Impact Overall MayReasonRule Sunday #33

I still don't get your issue. It's a matter of where the corporations incorporate, not where ads go. Scrivener7 Sunday #35

If I understand you, if Illinois passed this law, any corporation from Illinois couldn't make political contributions MichMan Sunday #41

The vast majority of corporations are incorporated in Delaware. Delaware passes the law. Scrivener7 Sunday #48

I get what MichMan is saying... SickOfTheOnePct Sunday #43

No. It's not the state that's involved. It's the corporation. It's not the location of the ad that's restricted, Scrivener7 Sunday #50

Rec! Ponietz Sunday #23

Early in our history, corporations existed in a much more limited scope for a reason ToxMarz Sunday #25

What's to stop the MAGA SCOTUS from declaring the rewritten state laws unconstitutional? Fiendish Thingy Sunday #32

No Doubt That There Are Officers Of The Court Within This Forum That Might Provide Greater Insight... MayReasonRule Sunday #45
