John McCain, as well as Obama, will be happy if Citizens United is overturned.

Actually, the USSC did overturn Citizens United. What Obama wants is limitations on free speech so that Citizens United can be re-enacted.

You misunderstood me, which means I didn’t make myself clear here. I meant if Obama and his henchmen somehow were able to get a bill passed overturning the USSC’s decision, and it ended up going back through the courts again. Obama and McCain both want this re-litigated or overturned in Congress somehow. They are both on the same side of this issue.
