“The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear a major challenge to the way political campaigns are funded that could sharply reduce one of Democrats’ financial advantages in recent years,” the New York Times reports.

“Fifteen years ago, the Supreme Court dramatically remade the campaign finance landscape in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a landmark case in which the justices struck down legal limits on independent political spending by corporations and unions, allowing a flood of new money to enter politics.”

“The court has been chipping away at campaign finance restrictions ever since.”
