On 12/9, SCOTUS is set to weigh in on a campaign finance policy limiting how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates. But evaluating policy is Congress's job, not the Court's, @danw329.bsky.social told @slate.com.

Few things show how off kilter the campaign finance system, broadly speaking, has gotten than listening to Justice Elena Kagan and Noel Francsico — both former SGs — talking with each other. Kagan's line of the morning: "You are assuming a lot there, honestly, about people's dumbness."

Interesting to see the justices in the NRSC oral argument press Noel Francisco on future challenges to campaign finance law. This is making explicit how the dynamic at the Court works. Each law is considered in isolation, but the reality it’s a progressive chipping away of the rules.

I respect Noel Francisco as a Supreme Court litigator. But how he can say that ending limits on political parties coordinating with campaigns somehow "benefits democracy itself" or that the cash Elon poured into party coffers before getting unsupervised control of DOGE wasn't quid pro quo. Wut?
