Part One-Working Through Citizens United: Confrontation

I've had a chance to re-read Citizens United (CU), the Supreme Court's latest campaign finance decision and upon re-reading I've found the majority much more interesting than I did on the first reading.  In a series of posts, I will work through the Court's CU reasoning.  In this post, I make the point that the Supreme Court wanted to reach the constitutional question.  Even though the Court had an option of avoiding the constitutional question, the simple fact of the matter is that the Court sought a confrontation with Congress on this issue.
