First the Act was never repealed, it had a sunset provision and was never re-enacted.

Second there is nothing in the current law remotely similiar to the A and S acts. CFR says NOTHING about criticizing the government. Show me where it does if I am incorrect.

"First the Act was never repealed, it had a sunset provision and was never re-enacted."

Well, okay.

"Second there is nothing in the current law remotely similiar to the A and S acts. CFR says NOTHING about criticizing the government. Show me where it does if I am incorrect."

I understood that the reason for the soft money ban was to prevent last minute exposes and highly inflammatory articles critical of candidates, regardless if they were true or not. If so, that would be a partial, but selective resurrection of some of the provisions of the A and S act.
