McCAin Feingold is within the Constitutionally specified powers of Congress to regulate federal election. It took NO ONE'S right to free speech away

Yeah, sure. Ignore that leettle "Congress shall pass no law" thingy at the start of the First.

According to the current Supreme Court, McCain-Feingold is constitutional.

There's little chance a President Rudy would seek out a supreme court justice that will fix that travesty.

As to what the truth is of the law, rather than what the Supreme Court has decreed:

If one month before an election, you just decide that a candidate will ruin our country. So you step outside, and scream out why. But nobody is listening anymore, they are all in their houses watching TV.

So, you mortgage your house, sell your car, take all the money you have, and buy time on TV. You get on the air, and tell the world why you think the candidate will be the end of our nation.

Under McCain-Feingold, you are going to jail.

How could that possibly NOT be a violation of the 1st amendment?
