New York City Free Things to Do, Free Events in New York City, 2011, March, April Asymptote The Washington Monthly Oh My Rockness New York City: Hand-picked indie rock concert listings for the obsessive show-goer Susan Estrich The Supreme Court has done it again. By a 5-4 vote, with the court's five Republican appointees on one side and the four Democratic appointees on the other, the court struck down limits on total contributions to federal campaigns that have been enforced and were specifically upheld in 1976. What the 1976 court saw in Buckley v. Valeo as a "quite modest restraint upon protected political activity" that serves "to prevent evasion" of the limits on contributions to campaigns, the 2014 court has now held violates the fundamental protection of political speech enshrined in the First Amendment. The arms race for money is not completely out of control. For most of us, of course, these limits are meaningless. Does it matter? And while it is certainly true that both political parties play this game, it is not true that everyone does. As for the argument that disclosure solves all problems, reality is to the contrary. Democracy should be sacrosanct.
