Chris Bonneau and Shane Redman write at The Monkey Cage.

There is much in here I agree with.  What I think the authors miss, and why I touted the ruling as a big deal, is not the holding itself on the personal solicitation of campaign contributions, but on the Court’s reasoning, and what it might mean for other judicial election laws.  As I wrote, “The big question will be whether spending limits and limits on super pacs in judicial elections can now pass constitutional muster. There’s the hint of that in Caperton (though the Chief Justice dissented there and Justice Kennedy was on the other side there).  Certainly the door is open now for respectable arguments on this side.”
