Citizens United was a good ruling because Congress and both political parties have been doing their damn best to limit the number of ways money can get into politics unless it is to them.
How? Simple, donations under $200 per person do not need be revealed until they exceed that number. Also taking foreign donations without proper tracking and the ease of generating new cc numbers / names works as well. However the number one method they use is exploiting campaign fundraising events where they can rake in millions. With the clout and friends in business how can a third party or anyone compete against it?
So while there are issues with money in politics all attempts to limit it have simply been done to protect the two parties who hold near absolute power.
