In Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc., the Supreme Court invalidated the ban on issue-based ads within the 30- and 60-day election window, arguing that it violated the First Amendment's protections for political speech. However, the Court left intact the ban on independent expenditures and limitations on advertisements and donations from corporations and labor unions.
