Why? I agree that the McCain finance reform limiting individuals access 60? days prior to election is definitely an abridgement of the 1st Amendment. No arguement there.
Just think there is still room for improvement. The FF's did not foresee the manipulation of the political process due to future complex financial contribution anomalies. Remember, the system was put in place to encourage temporary citizen legislators and then return to their farms and jobs. It was never meant to foster life-long career politicians. The current system does not work to the benefit of a Republic.
So what do you think of Congressional reform? IMO, therein lies most of the problem. What do you think of my suggestions in the above post (term limits; shorter sessions; grandfathering; Constitutional litmus)?
I wouldn't completely disagree with this. Term limits should be added to judges more than Congress. I hesitate to add term limits to legislatures because it's a double edged sword. However, I'm in complete agreement with the rest.
