McComish v. Bennett: Respondent's brief in opposition to petition for certiorari

Court Level
Supreme Court

Respondent's brief in opposition to petition for certiorari. Respondents argue that Scott and Green Party did not address the constitutionality of the Arizona model of public funding, in which triggered matching funds are instrumental to protecting the state’s limited resources while encouraging participation in a system that reduces both the reality and appearance of quid pro quo corruption. Although the three circuits may have employed different reasoning, their holdings are 4 reconcilable. Thus, the Court should deny the petitions and allow states like Arizona to continue to serve as laboratories for innovative campaign finance reforms
