Cases and Controversies

Behind the Ted Cruz Campaign Finance Ruling


Listen Later

The Supreme Court’s latest decision chipping away at campaign finance reform was a victory for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who challenged a limit on how much candidates can expect to recoup when loaning their campaigns money.

University of Iowa law professor Derek Muller joins Cases and Controversies to review the May 16 decision striking down another provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.

Muller explains how the issue of campaign finance splits the justices along ideological lines and what future challenges might come before the conservative-majority court.
