United States Supreme Court

Davis v. Federal Election Commission, the recent United States Supreme Court case striking down the federal "Millionaire's Amendment" to the McCain-Feingold Act (the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2003 or "BCRA"), illustrates the hostility of the current SCOTUS to campaign finance regulation--but it also throws in reasoning which could invalidate the public financing systems of several states (Maine and Arizona) and the City of Portland’s Voter Owned Elections.
