In a 5-4 split the Supreme Court delivered another very conservative campaign finance decision yesterday, ruling the "Millionaires' Amendment" provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform (BRCA) law unconstitutional. While its impossible to say what the full implications of this decision are, its clear the Court is no friend to laws that seek to limit the influence of private money on our elections.

Big news from the Supreme Court yesterday which decided on a 5-4 vote to loosen certain regulations established under the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA, better known as the McCain-Feingold Act) to allow corporations and unions to air ads that mention a candidate's name right up to election day. It  likely means a larger influx of money from groups that traditionally run these ads, perhaps leading to a more expensive elections cycle.
