From the Associated Press:Attorney General Jay Nixon believes most candidates should have to return campaign money that they received over the state’s reinstated contribution limits.
The Missouri Supreme Court last week threw out part of a law that had removed contribution limits as of January.
The Supreme Court directed parties to file briefs by early August on whether that ruling should apply only from here on out or should force candidates who took large contributions for six months to give the excess money back.
The attorney general's office, representing the state, filed a memo with the Supreme Court suggesting the ruling should be retroactive, except for candidates who have already faced elections or closed down their committees.

I will be voting for Nixon, but I think his position is ridiculous. He knew the law was being challenged, but he still took "no limit" contributions. Why was it ok last month, bt not now?
