The Supreme Court will hear a case challenging campaign finance laws that limit how much an individual can give to political campaigns, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. Shaun McCutcheon of Alabama and the Republican National Committee are arguing that it is unconstitutional to stop a donor from giving more than $46,200 to political candidates and $70,800 to political committees and PACs. The U.S. Court of Appeals for Washington DC upheld the limits, but the high court decided to review the decision.
