Court upholds limits on party political spending
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision preserves Watergate era limits on how much state and national parties may spend on ads and mailings to aid specific candidates. The ruling safeguards coordinated expenditures while not directly altering McCain Feingold goals on soft money and spending in late campaigns. Justice Souter writes that coordinated party spending can undermine individual contribution limits, though the court splits along a conservative liberal line.

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that many immigrants with prior criminal convictions cannot be deported without a court hearing, preserving relief for those who pled guilty under an older law and would have been eligible for review at that time.

Justice Stevens led the majority. O'Connor Scalia Thomas and Rehnquist dissented.
