Supreme Court questions limits on political party spending in federal elections, hearing GOP appeal - Lemmy.World
Conservative Supreme Court justices on Tuesday appeared to back a Republican-led drive, supported by Donald Trump’s administration, to overturn a quarter-century-old decision and erase limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president. A day after the justices indicated [https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-trump-executive-power-firings-boards-e45b572f8140ffcdfacbe82ba0b896ef] they would overturn a 90-year-old decision limiting the president’s power to fire independent agency heads, the court took up a 2001 decision that upheld a provision of federal election law that is more than 50 years old. The limits stem from a desire to prevent large donors from skirting caps on individual contributions to a candidate by directing unlimited sums to the party, with the understanding that the money will be spent on behalf of the candidate.
