Citizen United is bad but this has nothing to do with it.
It's just a lawsuit against NY that the plaintiffs hope to get in front of Supreme Court and win there.
The article insinuates there's lobbying involved but it's mum on the details i.e. what exactly they are spending money on given that it'll be decided by 9 judges.
Furthermore, I believe Citizen United is specifically about spending money on political candidates and whatever lobbying this is, it's not that.
- BizarroLand 3y agoMy question is, how can the case be at the Supreme court level already? What about New Yorks's Supreme courts. What were the results of trying it locally? And why would the Supreme Court of the United States pass any ruling other than, "states can decide for themselves whether they want to use rent control or not", since that was the same argument they used for Abortion?
