The U.S. Supreme Court conference of Friday, January 11, will consider whether that Court wants to hear Davis v FEC, no. 07-320. News of the outcome won’t be released until Monday, January 14. Davis v FEC challenges a part of the McCain-Feingold law that relaxes campaign contribution limits when one of the candidates in a Congressional race is contributing as much as $350,000 to his or her own campaign. The case was filed by Jack Davis, a Democratic nominee for US House in New York who did spend a great deal of his own money on his own campaign. He argues that if campaign contribution limits are necessary to prevent corruption, why should those limits ever be relaxed?
