Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Political Contributions Limits

U.S. Supreme Court building.

The case was brought by Shaun McCutcheon, an Alabama man, and the Republican National Committee. Mr. McCutcheon said he objected to separate overall two-year limits – currently set at $46,200 for contributions to candidates and $70,800 – for contributions to groups, arguing that they were unjustified and too low.
