Write a two paragraph summary of the article and answer the following questions.
1. What was the Court's ruling in Citizens United V Federal Election Commission? (you'll have to look it up)
2 What did the Court decide in Buckley V Valeo? (you'll also have to look this up)
3. What are the contribution limits that are currently in place?
4. What are the two ways people can get around those limits?
5. How are campaign contributions interpreted as part of civil liberties protected under the First Amendment?
6. In what two ways did the SCOTUS recently expand the protections of the Fourth Amendment?
