Supreme Court could topple yet another campaign finance limit

.... In a challenge involving Vice President JD Vance, the court will consider on Dec. 9 the Republican Party’s argument for overturning a 2001 decision that upheld a rule aimed at preventing wealthy donors from bypassing limits on what they can give candidates by funneling money through political parties.

Since that 5-4 decision, the court has become more conservative. And campaign finance law has changed, both by Congress and through other Supreme Court rulings striking down various rules as improper restrictions on “political speech” under the First Amendment.
Republicans argue the altered landscape means the court should now scrap the limit on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for federal offices. ....

An off-ramp to an 'inherently politicized case'
But the court could also avoid the issue by dismissing the case after hearing it.

After President Donald Trump took office, the Justice Department stopped defending the federal rule.
