    The document discusses how the Supreme Court's recent decision in Citizens United v. FEC has impacted campaign finance laws by allowing corporations and unions to spend unlimited funds on elections. This has led to a massive increase in outside spending on elections from such groups. However, disclosure rules have not kept up with changing spending practices, so many contributions are untraceable, weakening transparency.
