"Really? The political speech limitations is the scary part of the bill. If the FEC chose to, they could go after conservative talk show hosts such as Rush and charge that they are actually just political advertisements and shut them down 60 days before an election."

I wish somebody would quote from the bill because I am having trouble finding anything like that. The main thing bad I am finding is how bureaucratic and red tape laden the reporting requirement for spending are.

You don't see anything about the 60 day cutoff before the election?

Dude, I agree with you on Miers, but on CFR you couldn't be more wrong. The President was disturbed by CFR. He only signed it because he either had to sign it or veto the bill entirely since the Courts took away his line item veto powers.

People use CFR to bash the President. I see it as a greater argument for originalist/conservative judges.

Once more, with feeling:

Pres. Bush told his legal counsel to look for candidates who will make goood justices. One criteria only: they must be Constitutional Constructionists. She along with the Pres. introduced us to all these wonderful people like Brown, Owen, Estrada, and Luttig. He is so impressed with her job, he decides that she'll make a really good justice.

If you like all those people previously mentioned, how can you not like the person who selected them in the first place?
