The Supreme Court has erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president, striking down a federal election law that's more than 50 years old.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president, striking down a federal election law that is more than 50 years old.

Prodded by a Republican-led lawsuit that includes Vice President JD Vance, the court’s conservative justices were again in the majority of the latest decision that upended congressionally enacted limits on raising and spending money to influence elections. The court’s 2010 Citizens United decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal elections.

      If you don’t have teeth you can buy them, they’re cheap. They don’t live in the sky, they have street addresses just like anyone else. If you really believe this needs to be done then quit making it out to be more difficult than it is and just go do it.

        I’m not Elon Musk, I can’t buy a revolution. One person doesn’t have the “teeth” necessary to actually do what the “eat the rich” people are talking about.

          You can’t eat them all but you can definitely eat one or two. There’s only a few dozen of them.
