US Supreme Court strikes down restrictions on coordinated campaign spending between parties and politicians

The United States Supreme Court again struck down limits on campaign spending this Tuesday (30), rejecting federal restrictions on coordinated spending between political parties and their candidates.
The court ruled, by 6 votes to 3, that the limit imposed violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects freedom of expression against restrictions imposed by the government. A lower court had considered these limits constitutional.
The six ministers with a conservative profile formed the majority, while the three liberal ministers voted against. Conservative judge Brett Kavanaugh, author of the decision, stated that "the constitutional text, history and precedents establish that spending limits coordinated by political parties violate the First Amendment."
The action challenging the restrictions was filed in 2022 by Republican politicians, including the vice president, J.D. Vance, who was running for the United States Senate from Ohio at the time.
In his profile on the Truth Social network, US President Donald Trump celebrated what called it a "big win for Republicans":
"The Supreme Court just removed restrictions on political spending! A big win for Republicans and, more importantly, for the First Amendment!" US$256 million in cash and no debt.
That's more than double the roughly $126 million held by their Democratic counterparts, who also had more than $18 million in debt.
The court's ruling could lead party committees to seek the same reduced rates for television and radio ads that candidates have long enjoyed, though legal experts say it would raise an untested legal question.
