  • Campaign Finance Reform Jurisprudence Under the Roberts Court
    Stare Indecisis: Campaign Finance Reform Jurisprudence under the Roberts Court By Andrew Leiendecker Advisor: Professor Chris Edelson, School of Public Affairs For University Honors Spring 2014 Abstract: The following research paper consists of a detailed examination of the Supreme Court’s campaign finance reform jurisprudence under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts. This paper examines the holdings and implications of seven primary cases: Randall v. Sorrell (2006), FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life (2007), Davis v. FEC (2008), Citizens United v. FEC (2010), Arizona Free Enterprise Club PAC v. Bennett (2011), McCutcheon v. FEC (2014), and the forthcoming Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus (2014). Examining these cases three overarching problems emerge. First, the Court must reexamine and expand their definition of corruption as applied to campaign finance activities. Second, the Court has severely departed from the pre-Roberts standard (illustrated in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Nixon v. Shrink Missouri Government PAC) of legislative deference on issues of campaign finance. And third, the Roberts Court’s conservative majority appears to be growing more and more comfortable with reversing or ignoring precedential campaign finance cases, including Austin, Nixon, McConnell v. FEC, and even Buckley v. Valeo. This has allowed for a dramatic reduction in the amount of campaign finance regulation in American elections, resulting in an empowering of wealthy individuals, candidates, and corporations to dominate an election cycle at the expense of the voices of everyday Americans, which threatens to undermine the public’s continued faith in our democratic process and the reputation of the Supreme Court itself.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus SUSAN B. ANTHONY LIST ET AL. v. DRIEHAUS ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT No. 13–193. Argued April 22, 2014—Decided June 16, 2014 Respondent Driehaus, a former Congressman, filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission alleging that petitioner Susan B. An- thony List (SBA) violated an Ohio law that criminalizes certain false statements made during the course of a political campaign. Specifi- cally, Driehaus alleged that SBA violated the law when it stated that his vote for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a vote in favor of “taxpayer funded abortion.” After Driehaus lost his re-election bid, the complaint was dismissed, but SBA contin- ued to pursue a separate suit in Federal District Court challenging the law on First Amendment grounds. Petitioner Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) also filed a First Amendment challenge to the Ohio law, alleging that it had planned to disseminate materials presenting a similar message but refrained due to the proceedings against SBA. The District Court consolidated the two lawsuits and dismissed them as nonjusticiable, concluding that neither suit presented a sufficiently concrete injury for purposes of standing or ripeness.
