What's a legal expert? Ken Starr? Yea we need more like him for sure.
At least we know you are an "expert."
The results in this case do not depend on Ken Starr. I said before, I repeat it now. IF WE DO NOT GET THIS LAW THROWN OUT I WILL RESIGN FROM THE BAR OF THE US SUPREME COURT. I am putting not just my reputation for accuracy on the line, I am putting my profession on the line.
And for those who think this might drag on for years, it will be decided in less than six months from the trial court decision. Since the challengers are "filling right after President Bush signs the bill" that means a decision possibly BEFORE the November election, but certainly early in 2003.
I was involved as a low-level lawyer in the first challenge to federal election law, Buckley v. Valeo, 1976. The Supreme Court in that one tossed out the law six months after the challenge was filed in trial court. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.
I'm not guessing or speculating. I'm speaking truth here, based on decades of experience. You can take that to the bank. This law is toast.
