The Burlington Free Press is reporting that “another $590,130 is being sought by American Civil Liberties Union lawyers who represented the Vermont Libertarian Party and other parties” in the Randall versus Sorrell campaign finance lawsuit.
As Vermont Libertarian Party Chair Hardy Machia predicted in February, the US Supreme Court overturned Vermont’s onerous campaign finance laws. Libertarians in Vermont are cheering upon hearing the news. A 6-3 decision in the Randall v. Sorrell case by the US Supreme Court threw out the restrictive spending and contribution limits on candidates and political parties passed by the Vermont legislature in 1997.
