Few recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court have created quite the stir as did Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. One reason the opinion had such an effect is that it contains a smorgasbord of business-related legal and political issues, including issues relating to election law, ethics, social responsibility, stare decisis, judicial review, selection of Supreme Court Justices, the definition of free speech, and corporate “personhood” for purposes of the First Amendment. Perhaps surprising for a case involving a lawsuit brought by a nonprofit public advocacy organization against the federal agency charged with enforcing federal election laws, the opinion also ventures into one of the most important current issues in corporate governance, the role of shareholders in the business and affairs of a corporation.

En este artículo se estudia la sentencia Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Ciudadanos Unidos contra la Comisión de Elecciones Federales), dictada por la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos como mecanismo de legalización de la influencia irrestricta del financiamiento privado en la política estadounidense. La hipótesis aquí es que esta modificación institucional legaliza, a su vez, una forma de corrupción política que se evidencia en la actual legislación restrictiva del voto. Se presentará un marco referencial en el que se definirán los conceptos que articulan el análisis. Luego, se hará una descripción de los antecedentes y el contexto de la sentencia Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission; en seguida, se realizará un análisis de la sentencia, para pasar luego al repaso de dos de sus consecuencias: la primera es la influencia del dinero negro (donaciones anónimas) tanto en las campañas como en la selección de jueces, y la siguiente es la exposición de la influencia del financiamiento privado ilimitado de las campañas en la legislación restrictiva actual del voto.

This article considers the organizations, financial patrons, and lawyers involved in two significant campaign finance cases decided by the Roberts Court: Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission. The research indicates that these elements of the support structures for litigation on both sides of these cases, like the justices to whom they direct their advocacy, fall into well-defined opposing and partisan camps. It also suggests that strategic case selection on the challengers' side, the diversity of organizations supporting their positions, their network and coordination, and a simple and powerful frame around which to rally may have contributed to their success and to the Roberts Court's fundamental reshaping of campaign finance doctrine.
