This news just hit, so not much else to offer, but the ruling, which strikes down non-profit regulations limited campaign spending.
A federal appeals court has struck down regulations that strictly limited how nonprofit groups raise and spend money for political campaigns. [...]
“The First Amendment, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, protects the right of individual citizens to spend unlimited amounts to express their views about policy issues and candidates for office,” Kavanaugh wrote. “Similarly, the First Amendment, as the Court has construed it, safeguards the right of citizens to band together and pool their resources as an unincorporated group or non-profit organization in order to express their views about policy issues and candidates for public office. We agree with Emily’s List that the new FEC regulations contravene those principles and violate the First Amendment.”
