Today the US Supreme Court will hear arguments in McCutcheon v. FEC. McCutcheon is arguing that there should be no individual limits on campaign donations by individuals to federal campaigns, much as Citizens United v FEC has done for corporations (the summaries come from Oyez which is a great site you might want to use in your classes to find out about cases).
The place to go for coverage is SCOTUS Blog. Using this page will help you cover all of the major concepts you teach in Supreme Court cases such as: appeal, plaintiffs, amicus curiae, defendant, plaintiff, oral arguments and so on.
The video above is very nice in that it gives all the current limits and nicely tells about the case. It is biased against McCutcheon.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
