CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION CAPS AT ISSUE AT HIGH COURT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court is tackling a challenge to limits on contributions by the biggest individual donors to political campaigns.…

Republican activist Shaun McCutcheon of Hoover, Ala., the national Republican Party and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky want the court to overturn the overall limits on what contributors may give in a two-year federal election cycle. The total is $123,200, including a separate $48,600 cap on contributions to candidates, for 2013 and 2014.
