The United States Supreme Court has ruled against limits on the amount of money individuals are allowed to contribute to political parties, overturning a law that has been on the books since the post-Watergate era.
At the heart of the case was a law Congress enacted in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, which was designed to cap how much money a single person could give to a political party.
The high court’s decision marks a major development in the ongoing legal debate over campaign finance regulations in the United States.
