National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Comm’n · ¶16

This Court granted certiorari to review whether, in the wake of McCutcheon, Cruz, and other more recent decisions of this Court, the statutory limits on a political party’s coordinated expenditures remain consistent with the First Amendment. 606 U. S. 931 (2025). In this Court, the United States agrees with plaintiffs that FECA’s limits on political-party coordinated expenditures are no longer constitutional. The Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are intervenors and argue that the limits are still constitutional. In light of the Government’s position, the Court appointed Roman Martinez as amicus curiae to defend the judgment of the Sixth Circuit and the constitutionality of the political-party coordinated- expenditure limits. He has ably discharged his responsibilities.
