Congress Is About To Make Citizens United Even Worse
It's making political spending less and less transparent.

To see what the Court had to say about what should be done next, this was taken from the item below showing what the majority opinion in the 'Citizens United' case stated about disclosure, something that Congress is ultimately responsible for addressing:
The majority opinion argued for the disclosure of the sources of campaign contributions, saying that
...prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters. Shareholders can determine whether their corporation’s political speech advances the corporation’s interest in making profits, and citizens can see whether elected officials are "in the pocket" of so-called moneyed interests...This transparency enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper weight to different speakers and messages.
