Supreme Court strikes down limits on political party spending
The Supreme Court struck down limits on political party spending in a 6-to-3 decision, ruling the 1974 law violated First Amendment rights. The ruling allows parties to raise and spend unlimited funds while coordinating with candidates, overturning a 2001 precedent. Republicans, supported by the Trump Justice Department, argued the restrictions lacked anti-corruption justification.
