EDUCATE EMPOWER ENGAGE
A good result of this election was the passage in Maine of a ballot measure to limit contributions to Superpacs to $5,000 per year. This is a big deal.

When Maine passes its anti-SuperPAC initiative in November 2024,(it did) the law will be challenged (and most likely stayed from enforcement during the litigation).
That challenge will likely happen in the federal district court in Maine.
The district court will likely rule quickly on this important initiative's constitutionality.
Whatever the outcome, the decision will be appealed to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
The First Circuit has not yet ruled on whether SpeechNow is correct. It will, therefore, have a chance to consider the matter without the burden of prior precedent.
If Maine prevails in the First Circuit, then the United States Supreme Court will certainly take the case up.
And if things move quickly, then by July 2026 — the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — the Supreme Court will either declare us free of SuperPACs or give us yet another reason for a (peaceful) revolution in constitutional law (through amendments! See the great work of American Promise).
