<p>I wasn’t aware of this Judge’s ruling, but I doubt it will have any consequence outside of this narrow case. The ruling is not binding on any other case, so right now its effect is rather limited. Even if the Appeals Court should uphold this decision, corporate contributions will be restricted in the same manner as individual donations. Currently, an individual is prohibited from giving more than $2,500 to a political candidate. No need for the opponents of Citizens United to panic yet.</p>
