Open your eyes, buddy. It was REPUBLICAN John McCain, with the help of his leftist Democrat allies, who pushed CFR through Congress. It was REPUBLICANs in the REPUBLICAN-controlled House and Senate who passed the atrocity. It was REPUBLICANs in the REPUBLICAN-controlled Senate leadership who held up the bill for four years, but finally let it be voted on. It was 41 REPUBLICANS in the House of Representatives who voted for it and 10 REPUBLICANS in the Senate who voted for it. It was a REPUBLICAN President who not only refused to veto the unconstitutional travesty, but who signed it into law on March 27th, 2002. Further, it was REPUBLICAN appointed Supreme Court Justices who sided with the liberal activists on the court to uphold all or part of this anti-free speech law.
Not all Republicans are to blame for this atrocity, but you can't come close to pretending that Republican leadership and control of Congress is any sort of effective hedge against this kind of treason against the Constitution. Recent history, in fact the history of this specific law, proves otherwise.
Unless I'm very much mistaken the Republicans do not have control of the house and senate. I believe they need 60 votes for that which they don't have.

Spiff, that was an awesome truth-post regarding CFR.
Worth reminding everyone who really is selling us down the river. (OUR OWN.)
I wonder which Freepers will try and refute the facts of the matter?
An unconstitutional statute is not law; unconstitutional statutes, other than those which become unconstitutional as a result of a Constitutional Amendment which is ratified after their signing, are void from the moment of inception.
That isn't to say that agents of an illegitimate government won't prosecute people for violating illegitimate statutes, but rather to note that such a government does not deserve deserve any trappings of legitimacy, including the use of phrases like "into law".
