Supreme Court scraps check on money in politics at… POLITICS Donald Trump Add Topic Supreme Court scraps check on money in politics at request of Vance, GOP A 1974 rule created after the Watergate scandal limited how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and the White House. Maureen Groppe USA TODAY Updated June 30, 2026, 4:42 p.m. ET Hear this story WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on June 30 ditched one of the remaining checks on money in politics, a decision in line with recent rulings favoring free speech rights over fears about potential corruption. Overruling a quarter-century-old decision, the high court sided 6-3 with Republicans – including Vice President JD Vance – who challenged a more than 50-year-old rule capping how much parties can spend in coordination with candidates. The rule – aimed at preventing wealthy donors from bypassing limits on what they can give federal candidates by funneling money through political parties − was passed in 1974 as part of Congress' response to the Watergate scandal and upheld by the Supreme Court in 2001. The court's decision may benefit the GOP, at least in the short run, because Democratic candid…

Supreme Court Strikes Down Limits on Political Party Spending for ... Today the Supreme Court ruled in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission that limits on the amount of money political parties can spend on candidates violate the First Amendment. Michael Waldman , president and CEO at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law, had the following reaction. “ Today’s campaign finance ruling is part of the Roberts Court’s 16-year drive to destroy anti-corruption laws. From Citizens United forward,these justices have ushered in an era of massive money in politics. If you don’t like the way the political system is working, blame the Supreme Court. “Here, the Court again overrode the law passed by Congress, going against the wishes of the vast majority of the American public who want reasonable campaign finance limits. The questions at the heart of this case were for Congress to answer, not nine unelected justices. “The Court’s campaign finance vendetta has given wealthy donors outsized influence, resulting in a fusion of private wealth and political power unseen since the Gilded Age. Public trust in our institutions is plummeting. Congress must act to c…

Barbara McQuade: The Supreme Court just gave the rich even more ... The flow of money into U.S. politics already is harming democracy, and now, it’s about to get worse. The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down limits on campaign expenditures by political parties in coordination with candidates in a 6-3 decision that only continues the problematic trend started by Citizen’s United v. FEC. Without these limits, ultra-wealthy donors — and thus, special interests such as the firearms and cryptocurrency industries — can essentially buy themselves favorable treatment by elected officials, diminishing the concept of one-person, one-vote so sacred to the U.S. Constitution. To reach its problematic decision, the court also continued its assault on precedent, overturning a case that had upheld such limits as recently as 2001. Tuesday’s case, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) v. Federal Election Commission (FEC), had been brought by Republican groups and individuals, including Vice President JD Vance when he was still a U.S. senator from Ohio. They argued that the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1972, which set the coordination limits, violated the First Amendment’s rights …
