But a little over two years after President Obama famously and unjustly chastised Supreme Court justices for the ruling, a pro-abortion PAC in his home state is citing it as authority, as it contests the state’s campaign-finance regime in federal court.
The group, which has direct ties to current Illinois governor and Democrat Pat Quinn, asserted the Rod Blagojevich-inspired laws violate their First Amendment rights by unconstitutionally limiting their ability to disseminate political speech. Under the state’s current structure, PACs cannot receive more than $10,000 dollars from individuals or $20,000 dollars from corporations or unions per year.
