An October 5, 2013 photo shows the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC. The US Supreme Court looked set October 8, 2013 to let individuals give as much money as they want in elections, which President Barack Obama has said could push politics even further into the hands of the rich. Three years after its historic Citizens United decision upended America's campaign finance system, the highest court in the land is hearing a case that, if approved, will allow more cash to flood into presidential and other election races. US laws currently impose restrictions on how much an individual can contribute to any single candidate, as well as the total amount of donations in a given election cycle.
