11:03Now PlayingWe continue our coverage of Wednesday's Supreme Court decision in the case of McCutcheon v. FEC, described by many as "the next Citizens United." In a 5to4 vote, the court's conservative justices eliminated a longstanding limit on how much donors can give in total to federal candidates, party committees and political action committees in a twoyear election cycle. We are joined by Andy Kroll, senior reporter at Mother Jones magazine, who has extensively covered campaign finance and anonymous donations, called "dark money."
