Another First Amendment & campaign contribution decision.
In a 5-4 decision, McCutcheon v. F.E.C., applying the rationale of the controversial Citizen's United decision, the Court voided all maximum limits on campaign contributions. As in the Citizens United decision, the liberals voted in favor of the legislation and against the First Amendment. The conservatives and Kennedy voted in favor of the Amendment and against the legislation. IMHO, this is a good decision consistent with the goals of the First Amendment. Expect the liberals and Obama to howl long and loud.
