Richard Epstein on Campaign Finance Law

Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a post up at Ricochet.com reporting on, and disagreeing with, Judge James C. Cacheris's decision in U.S. v. Danielczyk. Judge Cacheris is using the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which said Congress couldn't constitutionally ban corporations from engaging in electioneering communications, to strike down laws banning corporations from making direct contributions to political campaigns. Professor Epstein writes, "The exponential risks of bribery seem pretty large."

Professor Epstein also has a piece up at the Hoover Institution casting a skeptical eye on "Cass Sunstein's Regulatory Fiddling."
