Interesting commentary by one of the top two litagators that will appear before the Supreme Court to argue the constitutionality of CFR. Given that he is generally known as Mr. First Ammendment, being the lawyer that the newspapers and others always go to for first ammendment cases, the sixy day ban should be a slam dunk. (fingers crossed). Anyway interesting take.

So disappointing that W signed it...

The bill, he said, is "trying to control who can participate in the election process in the last 60 days."

He said that and still signed off on it. What was he thinking?

Abrams has it all right until he gets to this point:

It all happened, I believe, as part of a good faith but deeply flawed effort to close loopholes, whatever the constitutional cost.

There was no good faith effort here. The two motivating factors were the clauses that will help incumbents, and the idea that politicians could get a "freebie" by passing a "reform" bill that will be struck down by SCOTUS.
