<http://www.campaignfreedom.org/2014/05/09/legislative-review-2013-state-legislative-trends-campaign-contribution-limits-increase-in-nine-states/>: 
"As this Legislative Review explains 
<http://www.campaignfreedom.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/2014-04-25_Legislative-Review_Wachob_2013-State-Legislative-Trends-Increasing-Contribution-Limits.pdf>, 
a Center for Competitive Politics' survey of 2013 state legislative 
activity shows that nine states -- Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, 
Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Wyoming -- 
raised or eliminated various campaign contribution limits last year. 
Five states increased their limits by 100% or more, two more increased 
their limits by 50%, and one repealed its limit on direct corporate 
contributions to candidates."

    "The Polarized Court" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=61398>

Posted on May 11, 2014 11:00 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=61398>by 
Rick Hasen <http://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

Must-read Adam Liptak 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/11/upshot/the-polarized-court.html?_r=0> 
on the confluence of the  ideological and partisan divide on the modern 
Supreme Court.

At the end of my piece 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2130190> on 
congressional overrides of the Supreme Court's statutory cases, I 
reflect on how perceived partisanship of the Court may effect if, and 
how, Congress now overrides the Court.
