An encore presentation of the Citizens United court decision in "Here Comes the Cash." A record $4 billion was spent on the 2010 midterm election campaign. But what’s interesting is that a lot of that money wasn't spent by the candidates, the Democratic Party or the Republican Party – $300 million of it came from outside groups such as corporations, unions, special interest groups and wealthy individuals. These groups have been around for a while, but now they can do things they never could before, thanks to the free-speech decision by the Supreme Court called Citizens United.
