家园 美国最高法院废除了长期来对企业在政治竞选中提供资金的限制

此次决定推翻了1947年Taft-Hartley Act和2002年McCain-Feingold Act的部分条款, 并且否决了最高法院在1990年和2003年作出的两个判决.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 barred both labor unions and corporations from making expenditures and contributions in Federal elections.

The Court's decision struck down a provision of the McCain-Feingold Act that prevented corporations, for-profit and not-for-profit, and unions from spending freely from their own treasuries in the final days of political campaigns, and overruled two previous cases, Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce (1990) and McConnell v. FEC (2002), which had been decided by the Rehnquist Court.
