The Supreme Court today sided with Ted Cruz in his challenge to a federal rule that puts a cap on post-election political donations that help campaigns repay personal loans from candidates.

Cruz loaned his campaign $260,000 before his 2018 election as a direct challenge to the rule and sued the FEC in 2019.Good government groups have warned the court's position will allow high-dollar political donors to effectively put money directly in the pockets of elected officials.

A candidate who wins a federal election can now immediately turn around and solicit money explicitly earmarked for his or her own bank account., which filed an amicus brief opposing Cruz's position.

He took a loan, shouldn't he pay it back?

This is going to rampant abuse

What could go wrong...

Clarence said it was ‘us’ vs ‘them’ in his recent interview. So no surprises here from these political ‘judges’

Let’s be honest Ted and the federalist society hand picked 3 of the judges so of course they did.

I’m not American so I don’t have an inherent bias - SCOTUS needs to be disbanded & reimagined so it’s actually a judicial bench instead of a political appointment

Well when you pack the court with conservatives that happens

Wow... scotus not even hiding their corruption now. They are emboldened and feel untouchable. GOPDomesticTerrorists

So Ted Cruz got the bought and paid for segment of SCOTUS to legalize bribery for politicians. What could go wrong?
