Patch's Poll: Should the Law Limit an Individual's Total Contributions to Candidates or Political Groups?

An Alabama man's case — which argues that the overall limits on an individual's campaign contributions are too low — is now headed to the Supreme Court, the New York Times reports.

In 2010, the same court ended limits on corporations and unions when it comes to independent campaign spending. The so-called Citizens United case opened the door to the creation of Super PACS, which can spend an unlimited amount of money as long as they don't coordinate directly with a candidate.

This case involves the overall limits on an individual's candidate and group contributions.

According to the Times, it "challenges only aggregate limits — overall caps on contributions to several candidates or committees — and does not directly attack the more familiar basic limits on contributions to individual candidates or committees."

In the Alabama case, the plaintiff argues that the two-year $46,200 limit for contributions to multiple candidates and $70,800 limit for contributions to groups are too low.

Should the law limit the total of what one person can contribute to a wide variety of candidates and groups?
