Supreme Court strikes down limits on what parties may spend with their candidates
In National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC the Supreme Court held 6 to 3 that federal limits on how much a political party may spend in coordination with its own candidates violate the First Amendment, overruling a 2001 precedent. The limits were not proportionate, necessary or narrowly tailored given less speech-restrictive ways to prevent circumvention.
