McConnell v FEC: Supreme Court: Audio Highlights from Oral Argument

Audio Highlights from McConnell v FEC Oral Argument

On Monday, September 8, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in McConnell v. FEC, the constitutional challenge to the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act. The case marks the first time since U.S. v. Nixon in 1974 that the Court has heard argument during the justices' summer recess. In addition, at four hours, the argument was the longest since Buckley v. Valeo - the last seminal campaign finance case, decided more than a generation ago.

Audio highlights from the Supreme Court arguments in McConnell v. FEC are available, including a list of key exchanges in the hearing and arguments broken down by speaker and by topic.
