Vermont's Campaign Spending and Donation Limits Are Struck Down

I thought that would be the outcome - but I didn't think that their would be 6 opinions issued from the Court on that case. That should make for some interesting reading (and interpreting) - especially to see what Justice Kennedy is supporting (as he is apparently the new "swing" justice on many election law matters).

With Justice Breyer writing the lead opinion in the Vermont case, previous analysis of the Court's working patterns would suggest that Justice Kennedy is writing the majority opinion in the Texas redistricting case (or maybe it is Justice Scalia). The next decision day is Wednesday.

UPDATE: Rick Hasen's initial analysis is here.
