“Clinton’s shift on campaign finance and why we need a 28th
Amendment” <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76041>

The Hill:
On Tuesday, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton issued a set of
proposals to reform our nation’s campaign finance system which
included a call for a constitutional amendment to overturn the
Supreme Court’s /Citizen United/ ruling and related rulings and to
allow for overall spending limits in our elections. This marks a
significant shift from Clinton’s prior statement on April 14, 2015
<http://t.sidekickopen03.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43Mq954W5wvHVx4XrjtMW7dSptd56dxkPf5xBYlH02?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Fpost-politics%2Fwp%2F2015%2F04%2F14%2Fhillary-clinton-says-she-would-support-a-constitutional-amendment-on-campaign-finance-reform%2F&si=4690293381136384&pi=fff02504-144b-4908-ff57-e2351186c4f6>,
in which she qualified this call by saying: “We need to fix our
dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it
once and for all – even if it takes a constitutional amendment.” In
subsequent statements, she has reiterated this call for an
amendment, if necessary.
<http://t.sidekickopen03.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43Mq954W5wvHVx4XrjtMW7dSptd56dxkPf5xBYlH02?t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Db80VpqFEO6o&si=4690293381136384&pi=fff02504-144b-4908-ff57-e2351186c4f6> This
shift in Clinton’s campaign platform demonstrates the growing power
of the movement for a 28^th Amendment to reclaim our democracy.

WSJ editorial
<http://www.wsj.com/articles/more-wisconsin-emails-1442444934>:
Our liberal friends in Wisconsin are unhappy. They think someone is
leaking emails that make the state’s partisan campaign regulators
look bad. We’ll plead guilty to having sources, but the emails are
news and they sure are revealing.

Stronger Parties, Stronger Democracy: Rethinking Reform”

Brennan Center:
<https://www.brennancenter.org/publication/stronger-parties-stronger-democracy-rethinking-reforming>
Here, we conclude that targeted measures to strengthen political
parties, including public financing and a relaxing of certain
campaign finance regulations, could help produce a more inclusive
and transparent politics. Party fundraising should not be entirely
deregulated due to corruption risks, but 2010’s Citizens United
ruling, and the torrent of outside spending that followed, raise
important questions about whether diverting money back into the
parties can benefit democracy.

Citizens United and the Future of the American Political Party
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76020>
Posted onSeptember 16, 2015 11:22 am
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=76020>byHeather Gerken
<http://electionlawblog.org/?author=6>
With Joey Fishkin, University of Texas Law School
The Brennan Center has just releaseda new
report<https://www.brennancenter.org/publication/stronger-parties-stronger-democracy-rethinking-reforming>on
the future of campaign finance. There are going to be a lot of reports
like these during the next few years as the reform community wrestles
with the legacy of/Citizens United/and tries to identify the path
forward. We’ll be lucky if most of these reports are as pragmatic and
intellectually serious as this one. (In the interest of full disclosure,
we should note that we were both consulted during the process of writing
the report). It’s worth highlighting several key moves that the report
makes.
First, the report centers on the important role the political parties
play in our democracy.This focus is itself good evidence of the
pragmatism of the authors, Ian Vandewalker and Daniel Weiner. The
political parties have long been targets of reformers’ ire and have
largely been treated as agents of corruption (and obstacles to reform).
But as the Brennan report recognizes, the political parties are
essential to the long-term health of our democracy, and they have
changed fundamentally and dramatically in ways that ought to concern us.
In focusing on political parties, the authors don’t make the mistake of
equating the official parties (the GOP and the Democratic Party) with
“the” party. As we’ve writtenelsewhere
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2617747&download=yes>,
these days “the party today is best understood as a loose coalition of
diverse entities, some official and some not, organized around a popular
national brand. The official party organization is part of it, but so
too are independent entities—not just shadow parties, but groups likes
the NRA, the teachers’ unions, and the Heritage Foundation.
Officeholders are also part of this coalition, as are donors and
activists. All are part of the/party/writ large.” That move allows the
authors to track what we’ve described as the strange, seemingly
contradictory status of the political parties right now. High levels of
polarization and partisanship have made the parties writ large quite
strong. But the official parties are weakening as they lose money,
talent, and power to what we’ve called the “shadow parties
<http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/mulr/vol97/iss4/3/>.”
The Brennan report insists – again, rightly inour view
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2617747&download=yes>–
that political participation matters, and that one of the important
costs associated with the decline of the official parties is that we are
losing crucial sites for democratic participation and pluralist
politics. Relative to the shadow parties, the official parties have many
points of entry; they are more porous and more open to average voters.
The shadow parties, in contrast, are designed to answer to their funders
and their funders alone. As money and power shift from the official
parties to the shadow parties, opportunities for participation and
pluralism decline. This shift is one of the most important things
happening right now in the American political system; we think the
Brennan report is right to highlight it and to focus on these consequences.
While we thought that many of the proposals the Brennan Center put
forward were well worth considering, we particularly welcomed the
authors’ attention to the unintended consequences of one reform proposal
that is popular these days: leveling the playing field between the
shadow parties and the official parties by allowing the latter to raise
large sums of money in the same fashion the shadow parties do. We
understand the impulse behind this proposal. But the authorsrightly
worry
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2617747&download=yes>that
changing how the official parties are funded might also change how they
are structured. We must be attentive to the risk is that the official
parties won’t be the same official parties that play such a welcome role
in our system but will instead look more like the shadow parties than we
intend. In other words, if we allow the official parties to be funded
exactly the way the shadow parties are funded, will they soon also be
run the way the shadow parties are run? There’s no way to know in
advance, but there are plenty of reasons why we might not want to find out.

What is the state of Latino voting rights in the state of Texas and
beyond? What’s happening with the never-ending redistricting litigation
in San Antonio, raising questions about whether Texas discriminated
against Latino voters and others? Has the demise of Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act thanks to the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in/Shelby
County v. Holder /hurt minority voters?
On Episode 5 of the ELB Podcast, we talk to Nina Perales, vice president
of litigation for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund,
and one of the country’s leading voting rights lawyers.
