  • Citizens United, Issue Ads and Radio: an Empirical Analysis
    CITIZENS UNITED, ISSUE ADS AND RADIO: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS Christopher Terryl and Mitchell T. Bard' I. INTRODUCTION When the Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Citizens United v. FederalElection Commission,' it was unlikely the justices expected the case to elicit much of a reaction beyond those who closely follow the worlds of constitutional law and the game of politics. After all, a ruling on whether corporations can spend money supporting candidates for office would hardly seem to trigger the kind of popular outcry usually reserved for hot-button cultural issues like abortion or affirmative action. Yet the decision created what Barry Friedman, a law professor at New York University, called the "only one firestorm" 2 of the seven-year tenure of Chief Justice John Roberts, a reaction that is said to have surprised the chief justice and may have contributed to the erosion of public confidence in the Court as an institution.' In addition to sparking outrage in certain circles, both inside and outside of government, the case has remained front and center in American politics, playing a role in the debate on issues as varied as the Republican presidential race and the Supreme Court's consideration of the constitutionality of the University of Wisconsin, Ph.D. 2012. Dr. Terry is a lecturer of media law, history and policy in the Department of Journalism, Advertising and Media Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. - University of Miami School of Law, J.D. 1993. Mr. Bard is currently a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where his research primarily focuses on how the atomization of the 20th century mass media system has affected news, especially on television and the Internet.
