The Supreme Court yet again loosened campaign finance restrictions on Tuesday by striking down limits on how much political parties may raise and spend on candidates. By a 6-to-3 vote along ideological lines, the court ruled the law, which had been enacted in 1974, violates political parties' First Amendment rights. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion. At issue in the case was a post-Watergate law that Congress passed to limit the amount of money individuals can give to political parties. The law, the Federal Election Campaign Act, also limited how much money political parties can spend on their candidates. Other types of organizations, like political action committees and Super PACs, have no limits on the amount of money they can raise and spend on elections. But unlike parties, they cannot coordinate with candidates. Tuesday's decision means that parties get the best of both worlds. They can both coordinate with candidates and raise unlimited funds.

The Supreme Court on Monday gave President Donald Trump sweeping new authority over approximately two dozen multi-member agencies that Congress intended to be independent. By a vote of 6-3, the justices struck down a federal law that bars the president from firing members of the Federal Trade Commission except in cases of “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” That law, a majority of the justices ruled, violates the constitutional separation of powers between the three branches of government. And in reaching that decision, the court overruled its 91-year-old decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, which had upheld the law at the center of the dispute.

WAS IT WORTH IT? Zayd Ayers Dohrn spends his new book, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground, asking the question in two distinct senses he keeps mistaking for one. Was it worth it for his parents, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, along with many of their friends, to march out of the 1969 convention of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), form the Weathermen and then the Weather Underground to engage in a decade of jailbreaks and bombing campaigns in the name of total war against the government of the United States, go on the run, and live as fugitives until they ultimately surrendered to the FBI in 1980? Was it worth it as in, did any of this in any way advance the causes the Weathermen were fighting for? And was it worth it for them to do all those things, even if it meant that Zayd Ayers Dohrn and his brother Malik and their adopted brother Chesa—the son of fellow Weathermen David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin, who spent Chesa’s childhood in prison—were born de facto fugitives from federal law enforcement? As in, awoken in the middle of the night to flee from safe houses across the United States, taught to throw tails before they had birth certificates, subject to the kind of psychological damage that left Ayers Dohrn “traumatized,” beset not only by “nightmares but fits of malaise” as well, drinking from a milk bottle until he was 10 years old. Was it worth it? Ayers Dohrn, now a middle-aged playwright and podcaster who is “embarrassed” whenever he finds himself in a chanting protest march, cannot quite say. He’s a good liberal. He knows that the War in Vietnam was wrong and that COINTELPRO broke the law. He doesn’t appreciate, for example, that they illegally bugged his aunt Jennifer’s apartment for years and stole a pair of her underwear to keep as a souvenir. But he reserves words like “moral catastrophe” for his parents and their friends. He’s “uncomfortable” with “insurrection”—he confronts his father with footage of the January 6 Capitol riot as if this will prove some kind of point—and believes in the “painstaking work of the legal system and the long arc of history bending slowly, but inevitably, toward justice.” Sure, “militant or even violent resistance” might be justified in the face of something unambiguously bad—“to fight against slavery, for example. Or fascism. Or genocide”—but, he asks, “were the conflicts of the 1960s—the Vietnam War and the assault on the civil rights movement—such a time?”
