Super PACs emerged after the U.S. Supreme Court permitted unlimited
corporate and union spending on elections in January 2010 (Citizens
United v. Federal Election Commission). Although not directly
addressed in that case, related, subsequent litigation (SpeechNow
v. Federal Election Commission) and Federal Election Commission
(FEC) activity gave rise to a new form of political committee.
These entities, known as super PACs or independent-expenditure-only
committees (IEOCs) have been permitted to accept unlimited
contributions and make unlimited expenditures aimed at electing or
defeating federal candidates. Super PACs may not contribute funds
directly to federal candidates or parties.
