RNC urges Supreme Court to strike campaign-finance limits
RNC urges Supreme Court to strike campaign-finance limits
By Sam Baker - 05/07/13 04:25 PM ET
The Republican National Committee urged the Supreme Court on Tuesday to strike down certain limits on campaign contributions, saying they're a violation of the First Amendment.
The RNC filed its opening brief in a case challenging limits on the total amount one person can donate in a single election cycle. The RNC says the limits are unconstitutional.
If the court agrees, donors who now max out at around $120,000 per year could be able to donate more than $3 million per cycle.
The campaign-finance suit is already one of the highest-profile cases of the Supreme Court's next term, which begins in October.
