Our view on campaign finance ruling in Randall v Sorrell
In our view the Supreme Court reached the right conclusion yet remains peripherally aligned with prior finance decisions. Vermont's two year expenditure caps and low donor limits threaten challengers and associational rights while the Court questions how far regulation can go before chilling political speech. Overall the piece admonishes the Court for not fully embracing First Amendment protections.
