Don't we have grounds to re-litigate Citizens United? [View all]

Didn't at least one of the Supreme Court imbeciles famously say in his decision that corporations and special interests clearly wouldn't use it to buy elections?

Can we use that to bring the issue back up at the SC after this cursed administration has been relegated to the shit-can of history?
