How Two Supreme Court Decisions Could Change American Democracy

Two recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions may have far greater consequences than most Americans realize.

One gives presidents significantly more authority over independent federal agencies. The other removes limits on coordinated campaign spending, allowing political parties and candidates to work together with far fewer restrictions.

Individually, each ruling is important.

Taken together, they may create new opportunities for wealthy donors to influence government policy and for presidents to reward political allies after taking office.

In this commentary, Bob Gatty explains why these two cases should be viewed together—and why they could reshape American democracy for years to come.

Do you agree? Or am I connecting dots that don't belong together?
