@lanalana that's definitely in there but I think the restrictions on the movement of $ outside of campaign finance are very telling

@lanalana so citizens united gives a great deal of leeway to corps in campaign finance in a way that most of america feels uncomfortable w/

@lanalana but meanwhile, restrictions on hawalla, outcomes like holder v. humanitarian law project (which btw has WEIRD standard of review)

@lanalana and the most fascinating quasi-state action of recent years re: payment systems-- the wikileaks payment blockade

@lanalana In all these cases money is absolutely behaving as speech, but issue of free speech barely comes up in discourse let alone law

@lanalana is it because citizens united is so unpopular? is money as speech something we reject axiomatically as a society?
