In the 2008 primary election, Citizens United, a political group, produced a film criticizing Hillary Clinton.
This activity might have been against the law under the BCRA (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act), which regulated certain types of communication close to elections.
The BCRA aimed to prevent unlimited spending that could influence elections. However, Citizens United argued that restricting their film violated free speech rights, leading to a legal battle that eventually reached the Supreme Court, resulting in the landmark Citizens United v. FEC decision in 2010.
