For the Defense
In some respects, our work in McConnell v. FEC began years before the passage of McCain-Feingold. During 1996–1997 we served on a commission organized by Herbert Alexander to create a political scientists' view of campaign financing. The majority voted 6 to 3 to recommend removing limits on the amounts that parties could contribute to candidates. Our dissent, with Janet Box-Steffensmeier, asserted that such a move would do little to strengthen pa…

Campaign Money and the Press: Three Soundings
Bias in the media is one of those issues that won't go away. It may not be as flashy or current an issue as it was when A. J. Liebling was writing his celebrated pieces on Wayward Press for The New Yorker,I but it still pops up regularly and frequently, at least in part because of the ever replenished supply of grievances and aggrieved that the media seem to generate. Its persistence owes, too, to the importance of the issue underlying it: a full…

Who's in Charge? Accountability in Political Action Committees
Of all resources of political power, none excites American suspicions quite as surely as money. When source of money is novel, well organized, and, above all, widely thought to be politically effective, suspicions turn quickly to apprehensions or even to real fear. That, in brief, seems to explain preoccupation with political action committees (PACs) in last few electoral cycles.' Most public and scholarly attention to newly vigorous PACs has cen…

Zorach V. Clauson: The Impact of a Supreme Court Decision
It has become a commonplace that the Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is. Scholars of American constitutional law have, therefore, focused their studies largely on the Court's opinions as indices of the Constitution's current meaning. But however well established may be the Court's role as the expounder of the constitutional document, the impact of a decision will depend on many individuals and circumstances far beyond the confines …

State Patronage in a Rural County
The use of public employment for political patronage is an ancient phenomenon seldom studied by political scientists in systematic and objective detail. Texts and treatises on political parties reckon with the subject, but usually support their generalizations and conclusions with illustrations rather than comprehensive evidence. Detailed studies date back to the muck-raking period, and deal chiefly with large metropolitan centers. The role of pa…

Extra-Legal Political Parties in Wisconsin
American political parties have long been the victims of a peculiarly ambivalent public attitude-an attitude which on the one hand views them as perverters of the democratic spirit while on the other hand it gives them a vital role in the political process. Much of the regulation imposed on the parties in this spirit of distrust makes it all the more difficult for them to carry out their political role. To operate successfully, they have been for…

The Silent Revolution in Patronage
W 'ITH little fanfare and only quiet celebration the movement to install merit systems in place of the older patronage is well on its way to full victory. The federal government has almost completely been conquered by one form or another of merit appointment, while the traditional political machines, long the major consumers of patronage, are everywhere else in hurried retreat. And the scholars and administrators who for so long fought in the van…
