Overturning campaign finance laws?........

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case that began with a film attacking Hillary Clinton, but could end up having far-reaching ramifications. The Associated Press notes that the Justices are effectively weighing “whether to allow corporations and labor unions to pay for political campaigns and end a century of legislative efforts to curb such spending.” NBC’s Pete Williams reported that five Justices indicated support for overturning prohibitions on the contributions of corporations and labor unions. The AP reports that “newly seated Justice Sonia Sotomayor jumped right into the questioning. She appeared skeptical about taking the far-reaching step of lifting the ban, a move urged on the court by a lawyer for a group that made the 90-minute movie that sought to undermine Clinton’s presidential ambitions.”..Link
