Supreme Court Lifts Spending Limits on Political Parties and CandidatesRepublicans had asked the court to strike down restrictions on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates.
The RW Supreme Court tells the Republican Party "ask and ye shall receive".
Another 6-3 decision.
Another step toward one-party oligarchy rule.
The coordinated spending case is the latest in a series of efforts to chip away at campaign finance regulations that were enacted after Watergate to lessen the influence of money in elections. In 2010, the Supreme Court struck down limits on independent spending by corporations and unions in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. That decision cleared the way for a flood of new money to enter politics and set the stage for further challenges to spending limits.
The case began in 2022, when JD Vance, then a candidate for the Senate in Ohio, sued to challenge the campaign coordination limits. He was joined by several Republican groups. The Biden administration defended the limits, and a panel of federal judges agreed they were legal.
After President Trump returned to office, the federal government flipped sides in the case and backed the Republicans challenging the spending caps.nytimes.com - Supreme court campaign finance
