McCAIN/FEINGOLD LOSES, FREE SPEECH WINS
The United States Supreme Court has slapped down the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance provision that restricts campaign advertising 30 days prior to an election.
An anti-abortion group challenged the bill all the way to the Supreme Court because prior to the the Wisconsin primary they were denied advertising which mentioned the name of Senator Russ Feingold.
Opponents of the McCain Feingold act have long claimed that the add restrictions before elections were a violation of free speech. The High Court agreed and ruled in favor of the group.
The Court stated that Grassroots lobbying before and election is legal and that the McCain/Feingold act denied the right to petition the government and free speech rights to state opposition to the position of an elected official.
Senator John McCain disagreed with the Courts decision stated that it was, "regrettable." Well Senator your bill was regrettable and the Court stands on the side of the Constitution and the right of the people to dissent. Well done and kudos to the High Court!

NO. McCain/Feingold was regrettable. This ranks up there with some of the finest rulings that could be handed down.
Sorry to be off topic but I have a question. If anyone knew it would be america's fascist support team here, maybe MDC would know. How much tonnage did the U.S. airforce drop on Osama Bin Laden. Was it just one or two bunker busters that were dropped on Torah Borah or did the mighty america use up most of it's cheaper un smart bombs and level the mountain your enemy was hiding in. You all threatened to bomb Pakistan into the stone ages but why didn't you show us the might of the U.S. military and level the mountain he was hiding under. You could have depleted your supply of ancient bombs and shown off just how ridiculous it is to try and run and hide from the mighty pentagon. I don't understand why the mountain was not obliterated and why you let Bin Laden escape.
