McCONNELL, UNITED STATES SENATOR, et al. V. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
124 S.Ct. 619 (2003)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the constitutionality of the newly passed
Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.
FACTS: The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA), contains a series of amendments
to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA). Title I is Congress' effort to plug the
soft-money loophole. The cornerstone of Title I is new FECA 323(a), which prohibits
national party committees and their agents from soliciting, receiving, directing, or
spending any soft money. 2 U. S. C. A. 441i(a) (Supp. 2003). In short, 323(a) takes
national parties out of the soft-money business. Once passed, eleven law-suits were filed
challenging the new statutes. All the results from the D.C. Circuit were consolidated and
the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
