Is it purely advisory or does it have some teeth? Have their been any cases where the constitution has affected the outcome of a court decision?

    The notwithstanding clause has to get renewed every 5 years, that’s the temporary part.

    Regarding speech and money, the idea the US Supreme Court has is that restrictions on buying advertising to support a candidate during an election is a restriction on speech. I’d agree that the link is somewhat tenuous.
