Well, Vermont will be featured in the Supreme Court's next term. I've always believed Vermont's statute was unconstitutionally preventing the right of free speech as expressed in dollars within a political campaign.
I hope the Court agrees.
"The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which includes Vermont, endorsed the state's approach in a 2-to-1 ruling last year that concluded that Buckley v. Valeo was not a complete prohibition on spending limits and that such limits could be justified by rationales the Supreme Court had not considered at the time, including public cynicism about the impact of money on politics."
