Activists Protest McCutcheon Decision Inside Supreme Court

HeadlineApr 02, 2015

Activists have carried out a rare protest inside the U.S. Supreme Court chamber to oppose the ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC, a case critics call the “next Citizens United.” In a 5-to-4 vote one year ago, the court’s conservative justices eliminated a longstanding limit on how much donors can give in total to federal candidates, party committees, political action committees in a two-year election cycle. Without any aggregate limit, a donor can now give millions directly to candidates and parties. On Wednesday, the five activists with the group 99 Rise stood up inside the court to call on justices to reverse their decision.
