Hey Senator - It's the Constitution, Stupid!

Gleaned from BOTW, one of the worlds most entertaining web sites, is this excerpt about campain finance reform in the beginnings of it's death throes: "John McCain, the Sisyphus of reform, is already declaring defeat: "We now find this reform law threatened by both political parties, the special interests who are regrouping, and also by the very regulatory body of the federal government charged with its interpretation."

Is it just me or are there other people who notice the strange events that happen to those people that try to mock America's ELECTED PRESIDENT, GEORGE BUSH?

These people soar to the top as they mock him, only to crash and burn in total defeat.

There is something eerie going on, and I think I know what it is but will wait to hear from others as to what they think.

Sisyphus? Sorry, I had to look that sucker up.

A cruel king of Corinth condemned forever to roll a huge stone up a hill in Hades only to have it roll down again on nearing the top.

Here's hoping that stone flattens McCain's arrogant a$$ on the way down. And McCain's already in the right locale.

I will be in this case when the trial court, whose second and last day of hearings is today, finally issues its decision and that goes to the US Supreme Court. (That will happen by the end of February, and the US SC will take the case. Its decision will come down in June.)
I think there's a chance that the trial court itself will rule parts or McCain-Feingold to be unconstitutional, specifically the ban on broadcast advertising by hundreds of thousands of private groups in the months before elections. Interestingly, the first federal court decision holding CFR unconstitutional has not come from this well-publicized case, but from a US District Court judge in Hawaii. That court has just ruled that CFR unconstitutionally restricts the freedom of speech of Hawaii Right to Life, and has issued an injunction against the law.
The handwriting is on the wall. CFR is dead. The only question is how dead? I hope it's deader'n Hell, as they say in these parts. I'll do my best to get that result in the US SC.
