HELENA — This week, the U.S. Supreme Court made a ruling that could once again reshape the campaign finance landscape in national elections.
Justices sided with Republican campaign committees in a decision that allows political parties to spend unlimited amounts while coordinating directly with candidates. It’s the latest in a series of rulings in recent years, in which the court’s conservative majority has struck down campaign finance laws that they determined were too restrictive on political speech.
