Supreme Court Hears GOP Challenge to Political Donation Limits
"The 2012 elections were the most expensive elections in history, thanks in part to the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in the Citizens United case, which opened the floodgates for unlimited donations to independent groups like Super-PACs that influence elections with flashy campaigns and attack ads.
On Tuesday, the high court will hear oral arguments in a case that campaign finance reformers are calling "the next Citizens United" because the Republican-lead legal challenge could erode one of the last protections preventing wealthy donors from influencing elections and seeking political favors from politicians."
