Washington, DC — Aujourd'hui, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments dans le National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) v. FEC cas. L'affaire challengfr critical, long-standing limits on how much money political parties can spend in “coordination” with federal candidates. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld these limits in 2001 as an important barrier to preventing donors from funneling massive amounts of funds to the candidates of their choosing through political parties.  

In September, Common Cause, the Campaign Legal Center, and the League of Women Voters filed an amicus bref urging the Justices to uphold party coordinated spending limits in the NRSC v. FEC case.   

Statement depuis Omar Noureldin, Senior Vice President of Policy and Litigation at Common Cause 

“Coordinated spending limits are one of the few remaining checks to curb the influence of wealthy special interests in our elections. If the Supreme Court dismantles them, party leaders and wealthy donors will be free to pour nearly unlimited money directly into federal campaigns —exactly the kind of corruption these rules were created to stop. At a time when the Supreme Court keeps siding with big money over voters, upholding these limits is essential to preserve accountability in our political system.”
