The Supreme Court struck down a longstanding federal campaign spending limit, ruling that political parties can now spend unlimited amounts in coordination with their federal candidates, as long as they otherwise comply with campaign finance laws.<\/p>\n
The 6-3 vote in the case National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission saw all the conservative justices in the majority, ruling against the restriction in the Federal Election Campaign Act.<\/p>\n
“In short,\u00a0constitutional text, history, and precedent establish that the political-party coordinated-expenditure limits violate the First Amendment,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion. “Importantly, by holding FECA\u2019s political-party coordinated-expenditure restrictions unconstitutional, the\u00a0Court\u2019s decision today treats all political parties equally.”<\/p>\n
Then-Senator J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, was among those who brought the original lawsuit in 2022, along with the Republican senatorial and congressional committees.<\/p>\n
