    “Death by a Thousand Cuts: How the Supreme Court Has Effectively
    Killed Campaign Finance Regulation by Its Limited Recognition of
    Compelling State Interests” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=71923>

Kevin Huguelet has postedthis draft 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2589600>on SSRN 
(forthcoming /University of Miami Law Review/).  Here is the abstract:

    This Article examines the current campaign finance jurisprudence in
    the United States, with a particular emphasis on the Court’s
    recognition of compelling state interests. Given the limited
    recognition of compelling state interests, this Article seeks to
    question the seemingly arbitrary rationale behind recognition and
    explore the implications of minimal acceptance of compelling state
    interests. Because the evolution of compelling state interest
    recognition has varied greatly, the Court’s recent insistence — that
    the state has merely one compelling interest — is troublesome. This
    Article provides a comprehensive review of the campaign finance
    jurisprudence, then reviews the decisions that created or argued for
    additional compelling state interests. Interests that were
    considered compelling prior to Citizens United, such as the
    anti-distortion interest, remain compelling and hold an important
    place in the US campaign finance landscape. This Article attempts to
    respond to the current Court’s trend and shed light on the history
    of compelling state interest recognition.

    “If I put together a finance team that will make me financially
    competitive enough to stay in this thing…I may have the first
    all-Jewish cabinet in America because of the pro-Israel
    funding,”Graham reportedly said

    “Bottom line is, I’ve got a lot of support from the pro-Israel
    funding,” he added.

    Federal District Court Rejects Challenge to Federal Contribution
    Limits <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=71909>

Holmes v. FEC <http://www.fec.gov/law/litigation/holmes_dc_opinion2.pdf>:

    After full consideration of the entire record and all arguments, the
    Court finds that Plaintiffs’ challenge to FECA’s temporal
    per-election restrictions on individual contributions to federal
    candidates constitutes a veiled attack on the contribution limit set
    by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court as a legitimate means to
    combat corruption. Because Plaintiffs’ claims rest on issues of
    settled law, the Court will deny Plaintiffs’ motion for
    certification and grant FEC’s motion for summary judgment.
