McConnell v. Federal Election Commission
Definition
- On December 10, 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in McConnell v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) upheld by a 5–4 decision most of the provisions of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) against constitutional challenges. In so doing, it purported to apply the constitutional framework of analysis that had been handed down in its 1976 decision in Buckley v. Valeo, but in fact reached results arguably quite different from those in Buckley. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Communication; McConnell V. Federal Election Commission]
