Summary
The Supreme Court just gutted a 50-year-old campaign finance law limiting how much political parties can spend on presidential and congressional races, siding with Republicans in a major conservative victory. The ruling effectively dismantles rules meant to stop big donors from bypassing individual contribution caps by funneling money through party channels — a strategy that’s become increasingly common amid soaring spending by outside groups. The case, brought by Ohio Republican committees in 2022, gained momentum after the FEC dropped its defense of the law under Trump — while Democrats pushed to keep it standing despite its outdated nature. Limits varied wildly: Senate races ranged from $127K in small states to nearly $4 million in California, and House races depended on state size. The decision underscores the court’s deep ideological split on campaign finance — some justices see restrictions as vital to prevent corruption, others view them as speech infringements that actually hurt fair competition.
