"Via Ken Vogel comes word of this order from Judge Cacheris. This is not what I was expecting. The Court has held unconstitutional a 100-year-old ban on direct corporate campaign contributions to candidates. He has done so in direct contradiction to the Supreme Court’s holding in FEC v. Beaumont, and in contradiction to rulings in the Second Circuit, the Eighth Circuit, and a federal district court in San Diego [that case is on appeal, and I am defending San Diego's similar law in the Ninth Circuit.]
Judge Cacheris makes two arguments as to why he is not bound by FEC v. Beaumont, in which the Supreme Court upheld the very same law."
