On November 27, the Ninth Circuit struck down an Alaska campaign finance law that says candidates cannot accept more than $3,000 from people who do not live in Alaska. The U.S. District Court had upheld the law. Thompson v Hebdon, 17-35019. The decision also upholds other Alaska campaign finance laws, including a $500 limit on individual contributions to any particular candidate for state or local office. Here is the decision. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
Each State is a sovereign NATION-State in the *United* STATES of America.
Internal politics — ALL foreigners — NONE of YOUR biz.
NO dollar amount in 1 Amdt – for speech, press, etc.
Too many morons to count since 1776/1789.

@DR,
I can’t do business in Alaska unless I live there?
Incidentally, did you read about the resident of New Mexico who couldn’t get a marriage license in D.C. until he showed his New Mexican Passport. A drivers license wouldn’t do.
See the USA laws against ANY foreign stuff regarding USA officer elections.
EG – the Russia machinations in the 2016 USA Prez election.
Likewise for each USA State.
The 1 Amdt is NOT a suicide device.
