S3, E30: Self-Financing Political Campaigns Just Got Easier

The Supreme Court has eliminated much of the risks associated with congressional candidates lending to their own political campaigns. This week on The Term, we’re discussing the court’s decision to strike down loan repayment restrictions passed 20 years ago to combat corruption, and why dissenting justices think it greenlights "sordid bargains" between donors and winning candidates. We’re also breaking down a second major opinion from the week with big implications for immigration proceedings, after the high court found that federal courts lack the authority to review factual determinations by immigration judges in removal proceedings.
