Campaign Contribution Limits/ Frequent Fliers



Missoulian: Supreme Court strikes down overall limits on campaign contributions
McCutcheon v. Federal Election Comm’n
The right to participate in democracy through political contributions is protected by the First Amendment, but that right is not absolute. Congress may regulate campaign contributions to protect against corruption or the appearance of corruption… It may not, however, regulate contributions simply to reduce the amount of money in politics, or to restrict the political participation of some in order to enhance the relative influence of others.

Missoulian: High court limits suits over frequent flier miles
Northwest, Inc. v. Ginsberg
The ADA pre-empts a state-law claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing if it seeks to enlarge the contractual obligations that the parties voluntarily adopt.
