The Supreme Court decided on Monday to hear a Republican-led
appeal against U.S. campaign finance regulations that limit the amount of money
political parties can spend on behalf of specific candidates.
The case, National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal
Election Commission, was initially brought before the court by the National
Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional
Committee (NRCC), and two Republican Senate candidates running for office at
the time, including current Vice President J.D. Vance.
It concerns whether federal limitations on political party
campaign spending violate the free speech guarantees established in the First
Amendment of the Constitution.
