On January 19, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Federal Election Commission v Ted Cruz for Senate, 21-12. The issue is a law that limits the amount of money a federal candidate may receive in donations after the election, when he or she has gone into debt before the election and the purpose of soliciting donations is to retire the debt. The law limits such post-election donations to $250,000. See this story. The lower court had struck down the limit. The law applies equally to candidates who won or lost the election.
