"About 1% of the incumbents for the Congress were defeated last cycle. That will not be changed for better or worse by this legislation."

Well, that's just the point. There will be no way for it to change for the better with this in place.

"Nor is there any true impairment of the 1st amendment by it except for those too stupid to do the minimal manuvering necessary to say what one wants to at anytime."

Not altogether true. With the camel's nose in the tent, if wouldn't take but a couple of election cycles for those manuverings to be outlawed as well.

"Some people around here are in a permanent state of panic which makes for fun but impedes the site being taken seriously by serious-minded, thoughtful observors."

Why not stop wasting your talents here having fun when you could be educating the justices who wrote dissenting opinions? Clearly they are the mis-informed ones, right?

I have not read all the dissents but what was posted from Scalia is not worthy of him. It makes inaccurate statements about the effects of this law.

How do you manage to get out from under the bed with all those boogie men lurking about ready to do you in?

Gee, just think without this law maybe 2% of the House incumbents would go down to defeat. The Republic is just sooo screwed by this.
