On the McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform, wasn't the bill brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, but McCain asked them to put it aside before ruling on its constitutionality - till after the 2004 election?

As I recall, one of the main points of this bill was to keep candidates' ads off of t.v./radio 60 days before the election. Right?

If so, isn't that a violation of the 1st Amendment - won't such a law tend to prevent minor parties from voicing their opinions? As it is, we haven't heard anything in Arizona on any other 3rd party than Nader and the Greens.

Only if you're accepting federal matching funds. Which the Libertarians are not eligible for, anyway.
