The Supreme Court on Friday endorsed a request from Republican campaign groups that want to buy discounted TV advertising for this year’s midterms, the latest in a series of emergency rulings from the high court benefiting the GOP.
The decision effectively upholds guidance issued by the Federal Communications Commission in March that allowed the campaign arms of House and Senate Republicans to pay lower ad rates that were previously reserved only for candidates.
The court’s order will primarily benefit Republicans, who generally raise more money through party committees than Democrats.
Oh wow, THIS will surely make the US economy better! Don’t worry about your grocery bill, political ADS cost less now!
Don’t be an unpatriotic ingrate thinking only of yourself. Think of the
childrenpolitical candidates!*Think of the political parties.
The candidates are now going to have to compete with the parties at the same rate. This is great because as we all know political parties didn’t have enough sway.
You’re right. And this is even worse for independents in primaries (which is really the only place that matters in many places).
I have to give it to them: republicans are really going all out to game the system in literally every way they can think of.
