we learned that a three-judge panel had struck down most of the so-called campaign finance reform limits on free speech. Now it's on to the Supreme Court. It appeared that this federal district court in DC had tossed aside McCain-Feingold, but that's not the case.

The only reform needed is that only eligible voters can contribute, whatever amount. No unions, corporations, PACs, foreign countries or out of State (district). Voters only with complete immediate accounting of when and how much received and spent by every candidate.

CFR should of been vetoed AND it was the duty of the President to of done that. TO UP HOLD THE CONSTITUTION,

[Congressman Billybob]

At the request of UPI, I submitted an hour ago one of the best analyses of the CFR case anywhere in the media -- print or broadcast. As soon as it is final and up on the wire, I will post it here also.

Bottom line: I am betting my reputation (and my membership in the US Supreme Court Bar) that the SC will either adopt the findings of unconstitutionality laid down by the trial court, or go further and strike additional parts of the law. In my brief in the SC I'll be urging that the Court go further.

I was and still am extremely dissapointed that GW did not follow his oath and his constitutional duty to return this bill to the house of origin (veto) with his objections.

I understand all the political gamesmanship that went on and is still going on. But still it is a chink in GW's armor that he decided, since the feckless congress critters put it on his desk, to sign the bill into law and let the courts kill it.

I wonder if anyone knows how much money it has cost the taxpayers to remove the obviously unConstitutional portions of this bill?

But money isn't the big reason GW should have vetoed it. Principle is.

In general I think GW is a man of principle. But on this one he crapped in his mess kit.
