The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a campaign finance law limiting the amount candidates and parties can spend in coordination with each other in a decision handed down in NRSC v FEC on Sept. 5 .

Two separate concurrences filed by Trump -appointed judges calling for the Supreme Court to make a complete overhaul of campaign finance jurisprudence that would threaten the entirety of existing campaign finance laws.

Thapar used his concurrence in NRSC v. FEC to call on the Supreme Court to apply the history and tradition test it adopted in the 2022 gun rights case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen and in 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that overturned Roe v. Wade .
