On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear National Republican Senatorial Committee v Federal Election Commission, 24-621, the case that challenges the limits on how much money political parties can spend in support of their own nominees, assuming the party and the candidate are coordinating their strategy.

The Court also gave permission for the Democratic National Committee to intervene in the case, to defend the federal limits. Both the Republican Committee and the FEC are in agreement that the federal limits violate the First Amendment. Without the Democratic Party, there would be no one to defend the law in court.
