Has this ever happened before? It's huge.

They will never get enough Republican votes to pass it.

I'm sure they see it as a win-win. The votes against can be used as campaign material, so even if the amendment fails it's "profitable".

Polls say 72% of Republicans believe Citizens United was a wrong ruling.

Whether enough Republicans have the cojones to vote their conscience and defy John Boehner and Mitch McConnell is yet to be determined.

Two words not often joined, "Republicans" and "conscience."

It doesn't really matter how many of the public are opposed to Citizens United. What matters is two-thirds of the House and the Senate and thirty-eight state legislatures. Do you really believe that there are that many honest politicians in this country?
