Court: No campaign limits
The Supreme Court struck down yesterday long-standing limits on corporate spending in US political campaigns, such as this year's congressional races and the 2012 presidential contest.
The 5-4 ruling was a defeat for the Obama administration and the campaign finance law's supporters who said that ending the limits would unleash a flood of corporate money into the political system to promote or defeat candidates.
