I watched the lawyers who argued this case before the court on CSPAN last night and almost all the comments made here by those who are outraged by the ruling are WRONG. That includes those by the luminaries you mention whom I like in general.

No one is prevented from doing anything EXCEPT soft money ad producers at SPECIFIC times and in SPECIFIC forms on SPECIFIC media. EVERYONE can change their method and do EXACTLY what they want that they could do before the law.

The element challenged changes very little other than the form through which these ads are paid for. Other elements may be challenged in the future with different rulings.

[E.G.C.]

I beg to disagree with you fella. The outrage is totally justified. Whetehr you like me saying it or not this is very dangerous dicta and it is you who are wrong, not me and not anyone who disagrees with ruling.

And I notice too that in your comments you said that the alien and sedition acts were never constitutionally challenged.

I take it then it is constitutional for some goofball to knock on my door and lock me away in handcuffs if i so much as call an elected official to the carpet on a policy I know is malicious and harmful to my constitutional rights. That somehow the sensibillities of the poltical class or the concerns thereof trumps my first amendment rights of free speech.

I don't know where you get this kind of midset but something tells me you haven't been readin all of the analysis or looked through any of the stuff as much as I have. Might I suggest you and your fellow John McCain types go back to the documents and read them again so that you would understand better than you do now what the founding fathers meant when they said "Congress shall no law abridging the freedom of speech.

"We'll just see what happens when the Democrats take both houses of Congress and we hhave a Democrat in the White House and this nation ends up like a thrid world country similar to Zimbabwe. Maybe then you and your fellow John McCain types will take a much different and more dignified atitude towards those who do have concerns about this law.

Regards.
