The Supreme Court has just ruled that the limits imposed by the FEC on the amount of money a political party can spend in coordination with their candidate is unconstitutional.
The vote is 6-3. Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson.
Amy Howe with SCOTUSblog writes: “The court holds that the law’s limits on political parties’ coordinated expenditures violate the First Amendment.”
