[Commentary] The Supreme Court hears arguments on Tuesday in a case that gives it a chance to stop political groups and corporations from gouging a major hole in federal campaign finance law. The case revolves around "Hillary: The Movie," an anti-Hillary Rodham Clinton film made before the 2008 election. A lower federal court ruled that the film falls under federal law restricting the airing of attack ads. The Supreme Court should affirm that ruling.
