Summary:

Provides legal analysis of Davis volume Federal Election Commission regarding Section 319(a) of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, known as the "Millionaire's Amendment," which established increased contribution limits for Congressional candidates whose opponents significantly self-finance their campaigns. Examines Supreme Court ruling that Section 319(a) is unconstitutional, as it undermines compelling governmental interest of lessening corruption or the appearance of corruption
