jan 1, 1986 - 1986 FEC v. Massachusetts Citizens for Life

Description:

The Supreme Court partly overturned the longstanding ban on corporations using general treasury funds for political purposes.

It said that the political spending of an ideological non-profit corporation, which did not accept business corporation or labour union funding, can not be restricted.

This was a somewhat narrow exception, but a notable one.
