The best result would be that Congress passes the repeal of the ad ban, which has already been introduced. There is also a non-sourced statement that Bush would "pardon anyone" convicted under this part of the law. My plan is option three.

When the government is embarrassed by losing a slam duck case on a questionable law, it sometimes backs away, treats it as a dead letter and refuses to enforce it. Also, that result would contribute to Congress deciding to repeal the ad ban.

All possible attacks on this law need to be mounted simultaneously. Each might be insufficient by itself, but all together can be effective.

Enforcement of immigration law immediately comes to mind, John. Count me in (in as much as I'm abled to participate). Best regards with the "Thousand Points of Law" - sort of like a spinoff from the "Thousand Points of Light" theme of '89.
