Oral arguments conclude in US Supreme Court case regarding the State of Arizona's public campaign finance law

From a Huffington Post article, which includes reader commenting -- for details, please read the entire article.
"This week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that will, as I previously wrote, likely determine the constitutional bounds of public campaign financing programs across the country. In that case, McComish v. Bennett, the Court will rule on whether it is legal to provide publicly financed candidates with additional public funds when they are faced with heavy spending by privately financed opponents or independent expenditure groups."
As author Jessica Levinson notes later in the article, based on the transpired oral arguments, it looks likely that the US Supreme Court will vote 5-4 in favor of knocking down the State of Arizona's public campaign financing law.

Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
