On November 30, all the full-time judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, heard Libertarian National Committee v Federal Election Commission. This is a challenge to the federal campaign law that won’t let donors leave large bequests to political parties and have that money available to those parties when that donor dies. According to this news story, many of the judges did not seem to believe that the law is unconstitutional.

@DR,
There is no limits on the amount that a party may spend, or on the amount spent by an indidual.
Making an exception for estates with no strings attached or no party knowledge would be hard to enforce.
If a contributor informed them that they would receive a substantial gift when he passes, would they have to destroy that information or not accept the contribution?
OF COURSE that law is unconstitutional..Money is a means of delivering speech, and the First Amendment says government cannot regulate speech. Period. Full stop.
