2  AMERICAN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP, INC. v. BULLOCK 

BREYER, J., dissenting 

36–37.  Thus, Montana’s experience, like considerable ex­
perience  elsewhere  since  the  Court’s  decision  in  Citizens 
United,  casts  grave  doubt  on  the  Court’s  supposition  that 
independent  expenditures  do  not  corrupt  or  appear  to  do 
so. 

Were  the  matter  up  to  me,  I  would  vote  to  grant  the
petition for certiorari in order to reconsider Citizens United 
or,  at  least,  its  application  in  this  case.  But  given  the 
Court’s  per  curiam  disposition,  I  do  not  see  a  significant 
possibility  of  reconsideration.  Consequently,  I  vote  in­
stead to deny the petition.
