This text is a dissenting opinion by Justice Stevens regarding the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The dissenting opinion critiques the majority's reasoning, arguing that the majority's decision to strike down corporate campaign spending restrictions is procedurally flawed and based on a flawed understanding of the First Amendment. Justice Stevens focuses on the majority's interpretation of the First Amendment, the historical context of campaign finance laws, and the various governmental interests at stake in regulating campaign spending. He argues that the majority's opinion gives too much weight to corporate free speech while ignoring the importance of preventing corruption, protecting shareholder rights, and ensuring fair and competitive elections.
