Election Law blog has the breaking news here... Vermont's spending limits were overturned 6-3, and Justice Souter wrote the majority opinion. More to come later today...
UPDATE: The opinion has been posted here (PDF). There is a conference call later today that I will unfortunately not be able to take part in... these initial "takes" on what an opinion means are usually interesting. Bottom line... the spending limits were knocked out based on Buckley, and the contribution limits were considered too low to comply with the 1st Amendment.
