Reasons. Although they have directed their challenge to the statutory limit, they stipulated the first 200 50,000 of his loan was repaid with preElection Funds. The statute does not currently restrict the senators ability to obtain full repayment. The current regulatory barrier to repayment is selfinflicted. Appellees could have avoided injuries by behaving as they would have if the statute and regulations did not exist. They went out of their way to engage in transactions they would not otherwise have undertaken, solely to subject the senator to a financial loss and thereby lay the groundwork for a lawsuit. That self infliction of injury, for no purpose other than to facilitate , severed the causal link between the challenged laws and senator cruzs injury. On the merits, the loan repayment limit is constitutional. It imposes insubstantial burdens on the financing of electoral campaigns and targets a practice that has significant corruptive potential.
