Court nixes GOP bid to raise unlimited funds
Two Friday court decisions reshape 2010 election fundraising rules. The Republican National Committee lost its bid to lift soft money limits for national party committees while SpeechNow.org won approval to raise unlimited individual donations for independent ads but must file regular disclosures. The rulings follow the Supreme Court's earlier decision allowing unlimited independent spending by corporations unions and groups, while keeping some PAC and disclosure rules in place.
