The original reporting on Bush v Gore said that the decision was favorable to Gore. I am sure it is a mixed bag but we'll have to wait and see but you're right about one thing, with Stevens and O'Connor writing for the majority it's more bag than mix.

I just can't see how they can uphold the 60-day speech restrictions without completely trampling over past election law jurisprudence and the Constitution. But the media has said nothing about this yet - they're only talking about the soft money issue right now. Looks like I gotta read the case.

In fact, the four liberals along with O'Connor voted in lock step FOR it.

Sorry, but this is an infamous law and a stain on GWB's record, right up there with John Adams' signing of the Alient and Sedition Acts. Odious. Plenty of blame to go around. All three branches misfire. The states impotent. The people inattentive and uninformed.
