On May 19, the Federal Election Commission filed a brief in National Republican Senatorial Committee v Federal Election Commission, 24-3051. This is the case that challenges the federal law that limits how much money a party can spend on campaigns for its nominees if the party and the candidate coordinate with each other.
The FEC brief says the federal law is unconstitutional. Normally government attorneys defend the constitutionality of challenged laws, but in this case, both sides agree that the law should be struck down. The FEC recommends that the U.S. Supreme Court appoint an amicus curiae to defend the law.
In an interesting side note, these limits on spending between political parties and candidates have been discussed in regards to the Kennedy Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee with the Libertarian National Committee and other spending by this committee in coordination with the fund and Team Kennedy, the candidate committee for the former presidential candidate.
If you review Federal Election Commission opinion with respect to these limits, they have been advising political parties, political committees and candidate committees to approach these laws liberally.
Coordinated spending is the lifeblood for successful political party expenditures in highly contested elections.
