Which assault on the first ammendment? Do you mean campaign finance reform? That is only a first ammendment issue if you think money is speech. I think they are different although both important.

McCain-Feingold is more about curbing political speech than money. There are time limits in addition to monetary ones when you can exercise poltical speech. The 527s are exempt, which permit people like Soros and Moveon.org to act as Dem surrogates. It also allows the MSM to attack conservative candidates without rebuttal.

If you believe that McCain-Feingold is not an attack on the first amendment and political speech in this country, you don't know what is in the bill.

"McCain-Feingold is more about curbing political speech than money. There are time limits in addition to monetary ones when you can exercise poltical speech."

You saying that McCain Feingold prohibits political speech at certain times? I've never heard that - only that it limits spending.
