Analysis: Campaign Finance And The Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court opened its new session on the first of October, per usual. Among the cases it will consider this session is one about the limits that can or can’t be put on campaign finances.

Vermonters will remember that a state law about that issue was also heard and struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2006.

Vermont Law School professor Cheryl Hanna talked with Vermont Edition about the daylight between those two cases, and what the implications are for money and elections.
