    "After Citizens United, Campaign Finance Reformers Look For A Bold
    New Approach" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55758>

<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/06/campaign-finance-reform-citizens-united_n_4046135.html> 
for HuffPo:

    While it may seem quixotic to push for campaign finance reform while
    previously set restrictions are falling left and right, ordinary
    citizens are rallying around the issue of money in politics in a way
    not seen in many years. What had once been a cause limited to a
    niche group of good-government types in Washington has grown into a
    broad coalition. The Sierra Club, the NAACP, Greenpeace and the
    Communications Workers of America --- four of the largest membership
    groups in the country --- have begun to invest time and resources in
    supporting campaign finance reform for the first time
    <http://www.democracyforus.org/>. And a new breed of reformers are
    pushing new arguments to highlight the issue and bring conservatives
    and disaffected voters into the fold.

    More than anything else, however, reformers believe they have
    finally cracked the code for changing the way politicians raise
    money. The key, they say, is to encourage candidates' political
    activity and increase the voice of small donors in the fundraising
    system.

    "The notion that we're simply going to regulate the big money out by
    establishing limits has faded," said Nick Nyhart, president and CEO
    of Public Campaign, one of the groups rallying around this new
    effort. "People are saying, well, you might need those regulations,
    but that alone is not going to do what you need to get people in. So
    there has been a big shift in that."

dissents for law students: "they will read dissents that are breezy and 
have some thrust to them. That's who I write for."

He also thinks 
<http://nymag.com/news/features/antonin-scalia-2013-10/index1.html>it's 
too easy for a small minority to prevent amendment of the Constitution 
(his theory should make him dubious of the electoral college and the

  Why Limit Political Donations?

        Debaters

  * Ilya Shapiro

          Strike Down All Contribution Limits
          <http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/10/06/why-limit-political-donations/the-supreme-court-should-strike-down-all-contribution-limits>

    Ilya Shapiro, Cato Institute

    In a free society, people should be able to give whatever they want
    to whomever they choose, including candidates for public office.

  * Elizabeth Wydra

          Senator McConnell v. the Founders
          <http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/10/06/why-limit-political-donations/senator-mitch-mcconnell-versus-the-founders-on-campaign-finance>

    Elizabeth Wydra, Constitutional Accountability Center

    Our system of campaign finance "distorts and destroys the intended
    dependence the framers gave us" by calling on a "tiny slice of
    America" to raise campaign funds.

  * Richard L. Hasen

          Limits to Candidates Deter Corruption
          <http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/10/06/why-limit-political-donations/limiting-contributions-to-candidates-deters-corruption>

    Richard L. Hasen, Election Law Blog

    The closer the money comes to the hands of members of Congress, the
    greater the danger of corruption and undue influence of big donors.

  * Bradley A. Smith

          No Compelling Government Interest in Limits
          <http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/10/06/why-limit-political-donations/no-compelling-government-interest-in-limiting-the-size-of-contributions>

    Bradley A. Smith, Capital University Law School

    While the argument that limits prevent corruption has some intuitive
    appeal, it is not borne out by the facts.

  * Ciara Torres-Spelliscy

          Interest Groups Will Spend to Influence Politicians
          <http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/10/06/why-limit-political-donations/without-limits-lobbyists-can-be-very-powerful>

    Ciara Torres-Spelliscy,Assistant Professor at Stetson University
    College of Law and a Brennan Center Fellow

    History shows that doing away with aggregate and individual
    contribution limits to candidates opens the door to embarrassing
    quid pro quo corruption.

        Introduction

Win McNamee/Getty Images Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to 
argue before the Supreme Court in favor of eliminating campaign 
contribution limits.

This week, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in 
McCutcheon v. the Federal Election Commission 
<http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/mccutcheon-v-federal-election-commission/>, 
a case that challenges limits on individual contributions made directly 
to political candidates. It would expand on the 2010 Citizens United 
ruling 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/us/politics/22scotus.html?pagewanted=all> 
that allows unlimited spending by corporations.

Instead of this piecemeal approach, would it make more sense to just get 
rid of all limits on political spending, as Senator Mitch McConnell has 
suggested 
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/03/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court_n_4037577.html>?

    Justice Ginsburg Bets the House on a Democratic President in 2016

A lovely profile <http://t.co/tEkcIPeUM8> in WaPo's magazine by Bob Barnes.

But the key quote:

    "I think it's going to be another Democratic president" after Obama,
    Ginsburg said. "The Democrats do fine in presidential elections;
    their problem is they can't get out the vote in the midterm elections."

There's an awful lot riding on that quite uncertain bet.

    "Here's Proof the Voting Rights Act Helped Boost Black Political
    Representation" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55722>

Posted on October 4, 2013 1:56 pm 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=55722>by Rick Hasen 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Atlantic Wire 
<http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2013/10/proof-voting-rights-act-helped-boost-black-political-representation/70202/>:

    Nearly half a century after the VRA's passage, critics had begun to
    argue that the law had successfully served its purpose (see:
    America's first black president, and these demographics
    <http://www.theatlanticcities.com/politics/2013/05/demographic-milestone-2012-election/5534/>
    that elected him), and that states like Texas and Alabama
    <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/section-five-voting-rights-act-map/>
    no longer deserved to be tarred by their past intolerance.

    A very interesting new study
    <http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8981954>
    to be published in /The Journal of Politics /
    <http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=JOP>makes
    clear, however, that Section 5 of the VRA---which is now effectively
    irrelevant---played a major role in boosting black political
    representation, and that its impact was ongoing. The study's
    authors, Paru R. Shah
    <http://www4.uwm.edu/letsci/polisci/faculty/shah.cfm> of the
    University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Melissa J. Marschall
    <http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/%7Emarschal/Home.html> of Rice
    University, and Anirudh V. S. Ruhil
    <http://www.ohio.edu/voinovichschool/contact/profiles.cfm?profile=ruhil>
    of Ohio University, examined the racial makeup of city councils
    across the country between 1981 and 2006.

    In that time, blacks made the largest gains on city councils in
    those areas covered by Section 5.

    The Civitas Institute, a North Carolina group founded by the
    controversial Art Pope
    <http://www.southernstudies.org/2013/09/art-pope-think-tank-pulled-into-lawsuit-over-nc-vo.htmlhttp:/www.southernstudies.org/2013/09/art-pope-think-tank-pulled-into-lawsuit-over-nc-vo.html>,
    which had great influence in designing the law and has long pushed
    for strict voter ID requirements, has been highly critical of the
    prospective lawsuit. In a blog post
    <http://www.nccivitas.org/2013/dc-attack-nc-voting-law/> this week,
    the organization's election policy analyst Susan Myrick (not to be
    confused with former North Carolina Congresswoman Sue Myrick)
    claimed that the effects of restrictive voting laws on racial
    minorities are overblown. Unfortunately Myrick used a misleading
    statistic in her blog post and ignored many others that contradict
    her argument, just as Civitas president Francis De Luca did when he
    testified last spring
    <http://www.nccivitas.org/2013/civitas-president-explains-need-for-voter-photo-id/>
    before the North Carolina state legislature in favor of voter ID.
