WASHINGTON: Supreme Court says political donors can spread wealth much more widely - Nation Wires - MiamiHerald.com
In what amounted to a 5-4 decision, the court’s conservatives declared that the aggregate contribution limits imposed four decades ago violated the First Amendment’s free-speech protections. Though individual donations may still be limited, the ruling frees donors to spread their wealth across as many candidates as they can find.
Personally, I agree that the caps were unconstitutional. Next step, eliminating the secrecy of where the money is coming from. Freedom of speech is not absolute.
