McComish v. Bennett: Supreme Court Amici Brief of CLC et al. in Support of Bennett

Court Level
Supreme Court

Amicus brief by the Campaign Legal Center, Democracy 21, League of Women Voters of the United States, League of Women Voters of Arizona, Public Citizen, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, New Jersey Appleseed Public Interest Law Center and Sierra Club in support of Respondents. Amici argue that Buckley endorsed the presidential public financing system as a speech-enhancing alternative to a system of potentially-corrupting privately funded campaigns. Also, Petitioners have presented no reason why the Court should not likewise approve Arizona’s Act, and affirm the judgment of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the document.
