WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court signaled Monday that it could overturn decades- old laws on how money is spent on federal elections, raising the stakes in a case about a scathing documentary about Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The high court was expected to release a decision on the Citizens United movie as part of its end-of-the-term wrap-up, but in an unusual move, the justices said they will hear arguments again in a special session Sept. 9.
In advance of the rare session, the court told the lawyers to focus their arguments on whether its earlier decisions banning certain political speech by corporations should be overturned.
