Conservative justices on the US Supreme Court are considering overturning a 2001 ruling that upheld campaign finance limits, potentially easing restrictions on political party spending.

Liberal justices expressed concerns about the surge in political spending and the lack of control if limits are removed. The case, brought by Republican committees, challenges a federal law aimed at preventing wealthy donors from circumventing spending limits.
