SCOTUS Will Consider Lifting Political Donation Caps on Individuals

Has agreed to hear McCutcheon v Federal Election Commission

Three years after easing limits on corporate political donations in the Citizens United decision, the US supreme court has agreed to consider whether to lift caps on how much individuals may contribute to candidates.

In a brief order issued on Tuesday, the court agreed to hear McCutcheon v Federal Election Commission, a challenge by Alabama businessman Shaun McCutcheon and the Republican national committee to limits on aggregate donations over a two-year period.
