Citizens United opened the floodgates to spending by wealthy individuals and corporations, and now McCutcheon is widening that channel. The court ruled that because money is considered speech, the government cannot restrict the total amount any individual can give to campaigns. The base limit of $5200 per individual to any one candidate in an election cycle will stay intact for now, but the court ruled that there can no longer be a limit on how much an individual can give to all campaigns in total. In a post-McCutcheon America an individual donor could give $5200 to every candidate for federal office in the entire country.
