The Supreme Court heard arguments today on a First Amendment case. A group that produced an anti-Hilary Clinton documentary to air during the primary election season went after the Federal Elections Commission – the agency which blocked them from airing it on pay-per-view. A federal court sided with the elections commission that the documentary was a form of electioneering, and now it’s up to the Supreme Court to decide if barring the documentary from airing was unconstitutional.  As Peter Granitz reports from Washington, the high court’s ruling could affect campaign finance regulations.
