The Supreme Court has struck down a federal campaign spending limit, permitting political parties to spend unlimited amounts in coordination with their federal candidates, provided they adhere to other campaign finance regulations.
The 6-3 decision in the case National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission saw all six conservative justices in the majority, overturning the restriction previously imposed by the Federal Election Campaign Act.
"In short, constitutional text, history, and precedent establish that the political-party coordinated-expenditure limits violate the First Amendment," Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion. "Importantly, by holding FECA’s political-party coordinated-expenditure restrictions unconstitutional, the Court’s decision today treats all political parties equally."
