The Vermont Campaign finace case finally has a decision--well sort of. Allison Hayward, in her typically succinct manner, has summarized the opinions, all six of them. So far her summary is the best I have seen.
Reading through the opinion, I am not struck by anything particularly earth shattering. The court stuck with the Buckley precedent and rejected every effort to distinguish. I need to read through the opinion on contribution limits a little more carefully, but at first run through I don't see anything particuarly fruitful in terms of new law.
One thing for sure, not a good day in the reform community.
