The host introduces the upcoming season of the podcast that will focus on books about democracy and shares a conversation with Ron Fine about their failed attempt to limit contributions to super PACs.
In this episode, Lessig speaks to Ron Fein, the Legal Director for Free Speech For People. The two discuss a major legal mistake made by the courts, which, if corrected, would allow states to regulate SuperPACs. They discuss efforts by Free Speech For People and Equal Citizens to bring to light this mistake.
