Reports The Washington Times:
Court rulings in the past two years have allowed groups to accept and spend contributions of any amount, a sharp break from dollar limits in place for candidates, parties and advocacy groups, positing that the potentially corrupting effect of money on politicians was not an issue because to accept unlimited funds, groups must be “independent” from and avoid “coordination” with politicians.
Those definitions have been stretched thin, and Sen. Mike Lee, Utah Republican, had tested the limits by asking whether a political action committee he controls could operate as a super-PAC.
