The court also ruled unconstitutional new restrictions on election-time political ads by special interest groups and others. It barred the federal government from enforcing them and all other parts of the law it struck down. Okay looks like both the ban on soft money AND the 60/90 day timing of political speech! HAPPY DAY!

It's those damned Founding Fathers again. They were just too smart. It's been over two hundred years and they're still outsmarting the likes of John McPain from the grave.

Wellstone's legacy was that election-eve advertising ban. Poof, it goes away.
