On Wednesday, the Supreme Court's five conservative justices struck down the so-called aggregate limit on campaign contributions—that is, the total number of donations within federal limits an individual can make to candidates, parties, and committees during a two-year election cycle.
Before the court's decision in McCutcheon v. FEC, there was a $123,200 ceiling on those legal donations; now, a donor can cut as many $2,600 checks to candidates and $5,000 checks to parties as he or she wants. (The $2,600 and $5,000 figures are the maximum direct contributions a donor can give.)
The court's decision specifically dealt with the federal aggregate limit, but legal experts sayMcCutcheon will also void similar campaign finance laws in 11 states and the District of Columbia. "The McCutcheon opinion is right from the Supreme Court and what the Supreme Court said is state aggregate limits on top of the federal limit are unconstitutional today, unconstitutional yesterday, unconstitutional 20 years ago," says David Mitrani, an election lawyer who specializes in state campaign finance law.
this is looking more and more like the right wing of the scotus is assisting big money in their bid to buy politicians and ultimately the WH, this is one reason lifetime anything in gov't is bad if they had term limits do you really think they would be so quick to defend big business over those who would control whether they returned or not, i don't think so money could not buy scotus seats if we voted on them.
Catholics vote for the Pope what makes them more exclusive they don't offer redemption they of late only offer more of the same jim crow law.
