U.S. Supreme Court Likely to Announce Whether it will Hear “Millionaire’s Amendment” Case on January 14

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?
