Be fine with me if Daily Kos is busted: irk enough of those screaming half-wits, and maybe we could get McCain-Feingold thrown out, reversed, or just plain written off the books.

Who do you think Russ Feingold is more in tune with, us or the Kos-mics??

I suspect they did violate the law as written.

I suspect they were supporters of CRF

I suspect they would be screeching for punishment and obedience to the letter of the law if the complaint had been filed against a conservative

But despite all that I stand with DK in demanding the complaint be ignored/withdrawn/dismissed.

Eventually Feingold - hence, McConnell v. FEC - must be overturned, and the sooner the better.

But it is never comfortable being the appellant in a case. And since DailyKos almost certainly promoted "Campaign Finance Reform," it looks better on them than on, say, FR, to have to appeal an adverse judgment under McCain-Feingold. Not only so, but since DailyKos is clearly "guilty" of violating the plain text of McCain, overturning a judgment against DailyKos under McCain could not but overturn McConnell v. FEC, hence McCain, root and branch.

Sometimes you need to exercise an unconstitutional law to force it out into the sunshine to kill it. If you dont, Citizens that obey the law are penalized, and those that dont are rewarded.

Once it is naked and on display in a court, the Sun will melt it down into a puddle on the floor. It will not stand. McCain - Feingold would fly in Russia or China, but not in the USA.
