"the Supreme Court heard arguments Monday to determine whether governments are constitutionally allowed to help publicly financed candidates maintain financial parity with privately financed opponents .
The case, McComish v. Bennett, features a set of conservative business groups challenging the constitutionality of the Arizona law, which they contend undermines their 1st Amendment right to free speech. The law mandates public-financed candidates, after contributions exceed an original lump sum, receive additional subsidies for every dollar their privately financed opponents raise or every dollar spent on attack ads by third-party groups."
