Citizens United, who has appealed to the Supreme Court, has now asked for an expedited decision. They have requested that the Court consider the case at its Feb. 15 conference so that the group could air the ads during the election season if the Supreme Court rules in its favor. The new jurisdictional statement filed with the Supreme Court asked the Court to set the appeal for full briefing and oral argument. Citizens United asked the Court three questions; whether "as applied" challenges are allowed concerning the FEC's disclosure rules for electioneering communications, whether such disclosure requirements are unconstitutional if a communication does not directly appeal for a vote, and whether the lower court made a mistake in denying them a preliminary injunction.
