Because the government believes the relevant provision of the campaign-finance laws is unconstitutional, the Supreme Court has appointed Roman Martinez to argue in defense of the constitutionality of this provision. Roman, with whom I’ve been on panels, is the chair of the Supreme Court practice at Latham & Watkins and has argued 15 cases before the Court. Earlier in his career, he served as a law clerk to Chief Justice John G. Roberts of the Supreme Court and to then-Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of the D.C. Circuit.
