US Supreme Court strikes down campaign spending limits on free speech grounds

The U.S. Supreme Court has once again ruled against limits on political campaign spending, this time striking down federal restrictions on coordinated spending between political parties and candidates. The 6-3 decision, with conservative justices in the majority, cited the First Amendment's protection of free speech. This ruling overturns a 2001 precedent and favors Republican committees, who currently hold a significant cash advantage over Democrats heading into the upcoming elections. AI
