Oh hooray, there is hope for the world after all! If we lose our right to express political views (in a back door way by eliminating resources to do it with) it is all over.

Hannity just said it was the ban on soft money part. I think that's what he said.

That is why they added that bit, that says if one part of the bill is unconstitutional they do not throw out the whole law.And from what I've read, the "part" that would be left if this is upheld, totally favors the GOP.

Yup. The part McInsane and the liberals tried so hard to get rid of. The blob is free. The hard money limits remain intact. Its a gloomy day for the other side. The mountain labored and produced - *POOF*

Bloomberg News: "The judges invalidated part of a ban on unlimited "soft money" donations to political parties from companies, labor unions and wealthy individuals. The Court also struck down a ban on direct contributions by children."

I don't know. No details at this point but I thought he said something about the ban on soft money. Will have to wait for the details to come in...

That was struck down I believe, if it wasn't it will be on appeal. No way that part of the law survived.

Hang on a minute if I recall from the CPAC conference, it was the NRA that filed a suit against that law.

Don't know. Maybe they are ruling on one part at a time. I'm sure the 60/90 thing will go too but perhaps they are just tackling the soft money part at this point.
