American Tradition Partnership (ATP) v. Bullock: Supreme Court Amici Brief of Senators McCain and Whitehouse in Support of Bullock
Amicus brief filed by Senators John McCain and Sheldon Whitehouse in support of respondents. Amici argue that if the Court grants the petition, it should revisit Citizens United’s finding that vast independent expenditures do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. They also argue that the Court should clarify that when legislatures build an appropriate record demonstrating the potential for corruption or the appearance thereof created by independent expenditures, they may enact appropriate preventative legislation in response.
