If you want to be on or off this CFR-ping list let me know.

Is Bush's signing of CFR more palatable because he indicated that the courts should review some of the more onerous provisions in the law?

I say NO. This is called passing the buck.

I suspect that he and Congress knew the law would stand up to the courts and Bush was just in CYA mode.

Norman Ornstein is now, and always has been, a shill for the leftists. He has no more interest in the Constitution than a majority of the Justices in the McConnell case. It is a minor impediment to be jumped over, and to wipe your feet on as you pass.

Latest column, "In Praise of Bigotry," discussion thread. (ChronWatch used a longer title than my original.)

[Kevin Curry]

In the end, a narrow majority of five Supreme Court justices was swayed by the argument that most issue ads broadcast near an election are shams.

Thus a SCOTUS majority and Congress have made a wholly subjective judgment about the quality of someone else's speech about fundamental political matters, found it wanting, and declared it forbidden. Worse, the judgment is prospective and arbitrary because it it characterizes all such speech as "sham" without ever bothering to hear it.

This is beyond appalling.

Hey, everyone, I wrote a letter to Rush and copied my letters and links to these threads, but I can't find his email address on the site. Does anyone have it? Do you have to be a 24/7 member to send him email?
