Mehlman eyes Supreme Court wins for GOP in campaign rulings
The article notes Ken Mehlman, chair of the Republican National Committee, facing criticism but optimistic about Supreme Court decisions this spring. It discusses Vermont campaign spending limits and Texas mid decade redistricting, with implications for Republicans as eight of the nine justices appointed by Republican presidents. Mehlman defends the party’s stance, arguing Vermont’s limits are unlikely to spread nationwide and Texas redistricting is a unique case influenced by Democratic gerrymander concerns.
