Posted May 16, 20223 yr Supreme Court sides with Ted Cruz, striking down cap on use of campaign funds to repay personal campaign loans https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/16/politics/supreme-court-campaign-funds-ted-cruz/index.html Quote "Repaying a candidate’s loan after he has won election cannot serve the usual purposes of a contribution: The money comes too late to aid in any of his campaign activities. All the money does is enrich the candidate personally at a time when he can return the favor – by a vote, a contract, an appointment. It takes no political genius to see the heightened risk of corruption – the danger of ‘I’ll make you richer and you’ll make me richer’ arrangements between donors and officeholders.”
