This is just residual effect from the sleevy Supreme Court decision. That is all this is.



This is what transpires when corporations own Supreme Court Justices and bad rulings result.
The lower courts have to allow that precedent with some brevity into their subsequent rulings.

Rulings split on campaign fundraising (click title to entry – thank you)

Reporting from Washington - Federal judges handed down split verdicts on Friday in two separate decisions on campaign fundraising, ruling that the Republican National Committee and other political parties may not seek unlimited contributions from wealthy donors, but independent groups may do so.

The rulings came in a pair of cases testing the legal limits on money in politics.


The RNC and several conservative groups have been filing suits in recent years challenging money limits on free-speech grounds, confident the Supreme Court agrees with their view….

This is how the RNC spends their monies. Adding to the work load of the courts to know how far they can push their limits.
