This chapter explores the power of Congress to limit campaign contributions and the Supreme Court's stance on this issue. It discusses the theory that unlimited contributions can lead to corruption and how the Supreme Court has allowed Congress to limit contributions to prevent actual or perceived corruption. The chapter also delves into the background of super PACs and highlights the flawed logic behind their creation.
In this episode, Lawrence Lessig outlines our plan to fight back against SuperPACs. He explains the logical mistake in SpeechNow v. FEC, why we launched a video competition (with a $50,000 prize!), and the legal strategy that could render SuperPACs largely powerless.
