U.S. Supreme Court Hears Campaign Finance Case

On April 25, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Federal Election Commission v Wisconsin Right to Life. According to the Associated Press, “a majority of the Supreme Court appears to be skeptical of restrictions on campaign ads.” Observers said it was the most energized U.S. Supreme Court argument so far this term. Every justice except Justice Clarence Thomas asked a question. There will be voluminous news media coverage of the argument throughout all major media later today and in print tomorrow morning. For an amusing eye-witness account by Allison Hayward, see here. To read the 72-page transcript of the oral argument, see here.
