Since Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was decided in January 2010, several polls have shown the decision is unpopular. A Washington Post-ABC News poll taken a few weeks after the decision found that nearly 80 percent of respondents opposed it.

Unsurprisingly, many politicians have reacted to these numbers like cats to catnip. Recently, a Senate Judiciary subcommittee held hearings to consider reversing it by amending the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
