Citizens United: The Early Word

Lyle Denniston thinks that the Court side with the plaintiffs on the question whether the video-on-demand broadcast is constitutionally exempt from/not covered by BRCA. But he also thinks the Court did not seem interested in overruling section 203 of BCRA or, more broadly, the Austin case.
That’s in line with my earlier predictions.
I also hear that the disclosure provisions were hardly discussed at oral argument, leading me to believe that they will be safe from a new constitutional exemption.
More to come.
