Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has filed for cloture on the DISCLOSE Act, S. 3628, which is intended to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United and impose burdensome new disclosure requirements

When it passes, can we not immediately sue on the grounds it is unconstitutional and get an injunction?

“When it passes, can we not immediately sue on the grounds it is unconstitutional and get an injunction?”

Sure, we should head for the courts immediately. It looks like the ACLU will be there fighting for us on this one, judging from the letter they sent out to the Senate:

“....we believe this legislation would fail to improve the integrity of our campaigns in any substantial way while significantly harming the speech and associational rights of Americans. We urge you to oppose cloture when it comes up early next week and to vote ‘NO’ on S. 3628 if cloture is invoked.“

How can we lose, with the ACLU on our side, eh?
