Supreme Court Strikes Down Key Limit on Campaign Spending by Political Parties

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for a 6-3 conservative-liberal court.

The 6-to-3 decision, divided along ideological lines, is a major victory for Republicans and could undercut one of the Democrats’ financial advantages going into the midterms.

Together, this lead to the rise of Super Pacs raising and spending unlimited amounts of money on campaigns, which is legal as long as there is no coordination between the organization and the candidate.
