"Cleta Mitchell faced one heck of an uphill battle.You can watch the entire hearing here.
Mitchell, a partner at the law firm Foley and Lardner, sat Tuesday before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee as the sole witness testifying in favor of the nation's new campaign finance landscape, deregulated by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last year in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The decision gave corporations and unions the power to use their treasuries to fund political advertisements saying pretty much whatever and whenever they wanted, no matter how partisan."
