最高法院推翻了一项长期存在的联邦竞选支出限制,裁定政党现在可以与其联邦候选人进行无上限的协同支出,只要他们遵守其他竞选财务法规。

在“全国共和党参议员竞选委员会诉联邦选举委员会”一案中,6票对3票的投票结果显示所有保守派大法官构成多数派,裁定违反《联邦选举竞选法》(FECA)的限制违宪。

“简言之,宪法文本、历史和先例都表明,政党协同支出限制违反了第一修正案,”布雷特·卡瓦诺大法官在多数意见中写道,“重要的是,通过认定《联邦选举竞选法》的政党协同支出限制违宪,法院今天的判决平等对待所有政党。”

时任俄亥俄州共和党参议员J.D.万斯是2022年提起移除支出限制诉讼的人员之一,一同参与的还有共和党参议员和众议员竞选委员会。

民主党人曾呼吁法院维持这项法律,尽管各界普遍认为,在其他组织无上限支出的时代,这项支出限制损害了政党的利益。

大法官埃琳娜·卡根、索尼娅·索托马约尔和凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊提出了异议。卡根在异议意见中写道:“今天,法院改写了规则,允许规避捐款限额。”

“多数派废除了国会对协同支出的限制,从而使政党能够充当竞选活动的替代支票账户,”卡根写道。

政党支出限制的初衷是防止大额捐赠者通过将无上限资金捐给政党,并约定资金将用于支持候选人,从而规避对个人向候选人捐款的限额。

最高法院曾在2001年维持过这项限制。

此次裁决在11月中期选举前出炉,正值唐纳德·特朗普总统和共和党人努力维持他们在国会的多数席位之际。

The Supreme Court struck down a longstanding federal campaign spending limit, ruling that political parties can now spend unlimited amounts in coordination with their federal candidates, as long as they otherwise comply with campaign finance laws.

The 6-3 vote in the case National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission saw all the conservative justices in the majority, ruling against the restriction in the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA).

“In short,constitutional text, history, and precedent establish that the political-party coordinated-expenditure limits violate the First Amendment,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion. “Importantly, by holding FECA’s political-party coordinated-expenditure restrictions unconstitutional, the Court’s decision today treats all political parties equally.”

Then-Senator J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, was among those who brought the original lawsuit to remove the spending limits in 2022, along with the Republican senatorial and congressional committees.

Democrats had called on the court to uphold the law, even though there is wide agreement that the spending limits have hurt political parties in an era of unlimited spending by other organizations.

Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. Kagan wrote in her dissenting opinion that “today, the Court rewrites the rules, to allow circumvention of the contribution limits.”

“The majority invalidates Congress’s restriction of coordinated expenditures, thus enabling a party to serve as an alternative checking account for a campaign,” Kagan wrote.

The limits on party spending stem from a desire to prevent large donors from skirting caps on individual contributions to a candidate by directing unlimited sums to the party, with the understanding that the money will be spent on behalf of the candidate.

The Supreme Court had previously upheld the limits in 2001.

The ruling comes ahead of the November midterm elections, as President Donald Trump and Republicans work to maintain their congressional majorities.
