Citizens in 22 states should be alarmed.  An amicus brief filed by
those states’ attorneys general indicates they do not believe in robust
First Amendment rights.  Instead, they urge the U.S. Supreme Court to
let state governments censor political speech and political activity.

That is, in essence, the position taken in their embarrassing brief just filed in American Tradition Partnership v Bullock, a case in which the Montana Supreme Court brazenly ignored the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United. 
The Montana court reinstated a ban on independent political
expenditures by corporations—a ban that a lower court had correctly
thrown out as unconstitutional following the Citizens United ruling.

Trying to differentiate its state law from the federal ban, the
Montana Supreme Court issued a decision that is a marvel of deceptive
reasoning.  The court basically defied the Supreme Court.
