My "argument" is that the constitution gives Congress the power to regulate elections under Article I, Section 4. This is a totally intellectual argument.
Emotionalism and hysterics are what those ready the attack Bush are showing.

From Merriam-Webster: Main Entry: abridge Pronunciation: &-'brij Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): abridged; abridg·ing Etymology: Middle English abregen, from Middle French abregier, from Late Latin abbreviare, from Latin ad- + brevis short -- more at BRIEF Date: 14th century 1 a archaic : DEPRIVE b : to reduce in scope : DIMINISH 2 : to shorten in duration or extent 3 : to shorten by omission of words without sacrifice of sense : CONDENSE Free speech has not been PROHIBITED, but it has been ABRIDGED. I'm sorry but the First Amendment trumps Art. I, Sec 4, which doesn't say anything about Congress having the right to "Abridge" political campaign ads 60 days prior to an election.
