This is insane--and will be thrown out in any decent Federal Court as a First Amendment violation.

"This is insane--and will be thrown out in any decent Federal Court as a First Amendment violation."

I assumed the same thing when "campaign finance reform" was going through congress. I guess the president assumed as I did because he signed the dammed thing, much to my dismay. I sailed through the judicial process and was upheld by the SCOTUS.

I wonder if Bush will sign this one.

You are sadly mistaken. Perhaps you have forgotten what the Supreme Court had to say about McCain-Feingold. The Constitution no longer protects political speech, only speech intended to overthrow our form of government.

That's what they said about McPain/Finkgold. Bush signed it into tyrannical law and the Supremes rubber stamped it.

The SCUS didn't throw out McCain-Feingold. What makes you think they'd throw this out?

Like McCain-Feingold? 

First you'll have to find a "decent Federal Court".

You're right this should be thrown out by any decent Federal Court. But I thought McCain-Feingold would be thrown out by the Courts.
