Don't you understand this at all? Have you read none of the ruling or listened to any of the lawyers involved in the case? The ads banned are those paid for with soft money within the time periods. Soft money was not banned nor were ads banned. ONLY soft money ads after the time deadlines. Is this so hard for you to understand?

PACs are the format allowed other formats are excluded after the deadline if soft money is used. What is so hard to understand about this? IT is quite simple really.

It certainly is not clearly forbidden by the Constitution for Congress to take such an act. This whole discussion illustrates perfectly the complexity of constitutional interpretation and the necessity of one ultimate arbiter of its meaning. And if so much misunderstanding about this one law pervails how can you be expected to understand a far more formidible instrument, the US Constitution?

Contrary to your exaggerations Congress infrequently gets involved in election law. The last time was 30 yrs ago and I am sure it would have been met with the same hysteria and lack of comprehension of its impact as today's law.

Care to reply to Post #1,886? I believe I've simplified things so much that even you should be able to understand the question. You have three (3) choices: pick one (1)...
