Actually the Supreme Court refused to strike down the unconscionable restrictions on free speech in the McCain-Feingold bill.

Increasingly, their position is that pornography is protected but political speech is not.

There may be some hope they will reverse themselves if Alito is confirmed, however.

Considering most of the obscene First Amendment rulings by the Supreme Court have been 5-4 rulings there should be little question that things here should change quickly.
