President Barack Obama
endorsed a constitutional amendment that would restrict the free-speech
rights of political activist groups by overturning the Supreme Court
decision in the landmark Citizens United v FEC case that granted First Amendment rights to corporations.
“Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider
mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens
United,” Obama wrote during a question and answer session on the website Reddit on Wednesday.
“Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight
of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.”
