Foreign Contributions and the Supreme’s Overdue Decision on Campaign Funding

The US Supreme Court will soon announce a major decision on our lightly controlled system of campaign funding. Will it retain some limitations on corporate influence or will the court blow the lid off and cause a perpetual flood of unrestricted corporate contributions? An additional outcome may surprise and shock the public. If the Supreme Court overturns the lower court’s decision, foreign nationals, corporations, and governments with partial ownership of U.S. corporations will, in effect, end up contributing to and influencing U.S. candidates in federal elections.

  1. #1    Great read and sobering info. Very well written and put together. Let us hope the Supreme Court rules wisely, but I am not holding my breath for that.
