The Supreme Court has struck
down overall limits on federal campaign contributions for the first
time. It’s considered, in some ways, a follow up to the Court’s Citizens
United ruling four years ago. Like Citizens United, the decision is
predicted to significantly increase the role of money in politics--an
amount advocates for campaign finance reform say is already way too
much. The case came down to a question of whether political
contributions are protected by the First Amendment, and if capping them
prevents corruption or the appearance of corruption. Diane and her
guests discuss the new ruling and the role of money in political
campaigns.
