and this thing is KNOWN to be DOA at SCOTUS.

Do you think the entire bill is DOA? I'm not sure that is the case as I think only parts will be found to be unconstitutional if any and the remaining sections will stand. Isn't that the way it will be judge? From another article.....

Kenneth Starr to lead legal team challenging campaign finance legislation

McConnell and his team said they would focus on a provision that bars the use of soft money 30 days before a primary or 60 days before a general election for "issue ads" that refer directly to a candidate.

That is the way it will be. But with all the lawsuits from this (someone goes after the soft money ban, then there is the coordination provisions, in addition to the ad ban), I think that what will make it will be disclosure and hard money. The rest will get hammered.

I'm not a lawyer, but Buckley v. Valeo only allowed limits, not bans.
