Supreme Court Upholds Political Money Law
6 minutes ago

By ANNE GEARAN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court upheld key features of the nation's new law intended to lessen the influence of money in politics, ruling Wednesday that the government may ban unlimited donations to political parties.



Those donations, called "soft money," had become a mainstay of modern political campaigns, used to rally voters to the polls and to pay for sharply worded television ads.


Supporters of the new law said the donations from corporations, unions and wealthy individuals capitalized on a loophole in the existing, Watergate-era campaign money system.


The court also upheld restrictions on political ads in the weeks before an election. The television and radio ads often feature harsh attacks by one politician against another or by groups running commercials against candidates.

I just love hearing the unfocused, visceral gnashing teeth around this joint.

Most of you lardasses have no desire or talent for free speech anyway. This law restricts you IN NO FREEPING WAY.

This is going to be a Bush Bashing thread. I wanted to bash you dismal aggrieved molemen in advance.

Bon Appetit Ace. Bash away.
