[Congressman Billybob]

I was one of the "experts" who made that assertion. If this decision is as bad as the comments so far indicate, I WILL resign from the Bar of the United States Supreme Court, exactly as I said I would if we did not get major parts of this law struck down.

I have been a member of that Bar since 1976. My 18th brief in that Court will be filed on 19 December. But beyond a certain point, any institution can become so corrupt that an honest man can no longer associate with it. Once I have read the opinions in this case, that is probably where I will be, with respect to the Court.

Nice to hear your opinion on this. I'm still trying to wade through this as well...there's just so much there. It's really far beyond anything a court should do. Granted, I think it's important to properly expound on constitutional issues, but this decision makes it difficult for anyone to become involved in the political process. I'll be eligible for admission to the court's bar in a few years, and I'm currently torn over whether it's even worth it.

I'm also searching for the answer to the following problem, so if you know the answer I'd appreciate your opinion. What do this do for one man's individual speech? See posts 675 and 758.

I'm looking forward to it, COngressman Billybob.

In fact, I could never imagine myself filing a brief in an institution that I've considered largely meaningless for years.

For all you other Freepers out there, just remember that as long as there are highway overpasses in this country, free (and effective) political advertising will always be at our disposal no matter what the U.S. Supreme Court says.

I respect your opinion. Please ping me when you have had a chance to study the ruling.

John,

Thanks for your comments. I've been looking forward to seeing you post about this.
I respect your honorable stand on this and will be reading your future column on it, if you write one.

Will you be discussing this on Jerry Agar today?
