This is outrageous! The first amendment was never intended for "the people" - just insane left wing groups.

Good news indeed. But it appears that the Supreme Court still needs to revisit McCain Feingold some day, because these judges were only able to work around the earlier SCOTUS decision.

It's a travesty that the Court sets no limits on free speech when it involves flag burning or pornography, but prohibits free discussion of politics at election time.

Yesss! Still, I think it's unconstitutional no matter how it's applied.

The only effect has been to give Democrats (who are the only ones who take advantage of this) a club to beat normal people with. When I worked on the last Bush campaign, the Dems were going through our records - most of them maintained by elderly volunteers - all the time looking for some erroneous attribution of a $100 contribution. This paralyzed us because nobody, including our attorneys, was sure when it was legal to accept something and when not.

I realize that the GOP could have done this to Dems, too, but that is never our style (a good thing, in my opinion).

I wish this whole idiotic law would be overturned.

Panel Says Issue Ads OK During Elections

AP via SFGate ^ | 12/21/6 | MATT APUZZO
WASHINGTON -- The federal government cannot prohibit advocacy groups from running issue advertisements during peak election season, a panel of federal judges ruled Thursday. The 2-1 ruling was issued in a case involving a Wisconsin anti-abortion group that challenged congressional restrictions on ads by corporations, labor unions and other special interest groups that mention candidates two months before a general election. Some lawmakers have predicted such a ruling would create a loophole in the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign law, which attempted to reduce the influence of big-spending special-interest groups in elections. The case automatically heads to the Supreme Court for review....

And yet one more reason to oppose John McCain is the republican primary.

....so thinking here.....if this is unconstitutional and has been struck down....does it have any retro meanings? If its illegal today, then it was illegal last year right? So our freedom of speech was trampled on, so what rights do we have now? Can we sue mcpain and finegold for the inconvenience of denying our freedoms????

AND doesn't the Congress decide to begin with that it should have been illegal BEFORE they passed it??? So are all the members that voted on this illegal bill guilty of fraud?????
