The answer is yes, the Koch brothers had money in Citizens United. A number of Koch-funded
groups submitted amicus briefs to the court.
Including the Cato Institute, which the Kochs funded. They submitted a brief calling for unfettered corporate speech.
So did The Institute for Justice, also funded by the Kochs. Their brief said that finance laws prohibiting unlimited corporate contributions trumped the First Amendment.
And after the court ruled in their favor, these groups spent a lot of money to oppose efforts to provide transparency.
Here's an interview with David Koch and his lawyer. Koch's asked about Citizens United and he seems to pretend he's never heard of it.
Koch is in the foreground in the grey herringbone coat.
What do you think of Citizens United? Has it helped your influence?
Citizens United?
答案是肯定的?？坪招值芙o聯(lián)合公民投了錢，多家科赫集團資助的團體向法庭提交了非當事人意見陳述書。
包括由科赫兄弟資助的卡托研究所，他們遞交陳述書呼吁企業(yè)言論自由。
還有正義研究所，也是由科赫兄弟資助。他們的陳述書說，金融法限制企業(yè)無限出資有違憲法第一修正案。法庭判其勝訴后，這些團體又花大價錢反對政客資金來源透明化。
這是大衛(wèi)?科赫和他律師的采訪視頻。科赫被問及聯(lián)合公民，但他卻假裝完全沒聽說過。
科赫是右邊那個穿灰色大衣的。
你對聯(lián)合公民勝訴怎么看？它是否提升了你的影響力？
聯(lián)合公民？
