The U.S. Supreme Court case in 2009 that created the opportunity for organizations opposed to powerful incumbents to not disclose their donors was Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission. This decision lifted certain restrictions on political spending by corporations and unions, allowing them to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns. As a result, many groups began to form as "dark money" organizations, which do not disclose their donors to the public.
