WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has sided with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and struck down a provision of federal campaign finance law. It’s a ruling that a dissenting justice says runs the risk of causing “further disrepute” to American politics. The court, by a 6-3 vote, said the provision Cruz challenged limiting the repayment of personal loans from candidates to their campaigns violates the Constitution. The decision comes just as campaigning for the 2022 midterm elections is intensifying. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority that the provision “burdens core political speech without proper justification.”
