How was the influence by his donors on Senator Robert Menendez different from the influence of donors on politicians under Citizens United?
PS: In 2012, Menendez called on the Securities Exchange Commission
to use its existing authority to mandate the disclosure of corporate
political spending. In the wake of the Citizens United decision, Senator
Menendez authored the Shareholder Protection Act, which would not only
require full disclosure of any political spending by any publicly-owned
corporation, but would require shareholder authorization of this
spending.
