This 2010 Supreme Court decision is the landmark ruling that significantly increased corporate money in U.S. politics. It reversed century-old restrictions by allowing corporations and unions to use treasury funds for unlimited independent expenditures, directly leading to the rise of Super PACS.

It tilted political influence toward wealthy donors and corporations. Before this, the 1907 Tillman Act had banned direct corporate contributions, restriction that remained largely in place until the 2010 ruling.

Now it is almost impossible to tell where the money is coming from. It could be coming from outside of the country.
