the divided court said Wednesday, the nation is better off with limits on the financial influence of deep-pocket donors even if money can never be divorced from politics.

The court ruled 5-4 that rooting out corruption, or even the appearance of it, justifies limitations on the free speech and free spending of contributors, candidates and political parties.

I thought the Supreme Court ruled on law , not what they feel is best for us. Law: What right do they have to decide that something justifies over ruling the Constitution. This court is running wild with the Constitution. They dont interpret The Constitution they amend it to suit themselves and say it is justified.

We have the Dems making up their own rules in Cobgress and the Supreme Court amending the Constitution , something has to be done , but God knows what ,Hopefully enough Republicans will get elected in 2004 to give GWB that Supermajority we desparately need.

Uhh, a Republican Congress passed CFR, a Republican President signed it and a supposedly "conservative" court upheld it.

We're only safe when Congress is not in session, when Bush is on a plane to a foreign land and when the Supreme Court is in recess.
