We’ll see how long they carry on the fight, if the court doesn’t throw it out.

As long as it takes, till we vote the Democrats and 0bama out of power and repeal it ourselves.

Will they decide to stand their ground, or will they decide to fold like cardboard, the way so many have done on several previous issues? “

Umm...it took 8 years after McCain/Feingold was passed before the SCOTUS finally repealed most of it. No one “folded like cardboard”.

Agreed. McCain-Feingold is not something to emulate or aspire to.

That piece of legislation alone did more to swing me irrevocably to the side that says our government is operating with no limiting restraint from the Constititution.

I respect George Bush on many fronts, even though I disagree with some of his actions. But his refusal to veto that abortion of a bill called McCain-Feingold, thereby kicking it down the road and allowing eight years of damage to be done, was a reputiation to his oath of office that did more damage to him in my eyes than nearly any other.

And that was simply a preview to this.
