Campaign reform

[Jack Lohman]

A not-well-known clause of the Constitution (Article III) allows congress to set their own rules for campaign contributions, but no congressman wants to go there. They like the system broken, as is, and like that they can blame the Supreme Court for their woes.

A sharp politician can make hay with this, but will they?

U.S. Constitution Article III, section 2, clause 2:

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Remember that we have three equal powers, not one over the other. The SC cannot control congress OR the executive branch.
