In terms with agreeing with their own precedent, the SCOTUS ruled properly. Montana's view was that because of unsavory corporate influence over 100 years ago there, they should be able to ignore Citzens United. I don't (and the SCOTUS) didn't agree with a look-back of a century to justify Montana's action. That said, Citizens United sucks for all 50 states, but it is a Federal issue.
