The controversial Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which struck down many restrictions on campaign finance practices, is four years old.

The video above lays out “5 Things You Didn’t Know About Citizens United” and should make us all feel a little better about the ruling. It’s hosted by Reason regular Remy, produced by Sean Malone, and comes from the Center for Competitive Politics, a nonprofit headed up by former Federal Election Commission chairman Bradley A. Smith (read Reason articles by and about him here).
