It was a stupid law and I think Bush signed it knowing the courts would knock it down. At least by having it go to the courts, we have a ruling on the constitutionality of the law.

That would be my guess .. only question is .. will McCain finally shut up?

Probably not -- but you have to love this judge's opinion.

For example:
 
"While BCRA's sponsors may have intended the ban to be a first step only, see,  e.g., Press Release, Senator John McCain, McCain Declares Reform Crusade Continues (November 14, 2002) ("Reform is a process. It is not a one-time fight."), available at http://mccain.senate.gov/, its negligible utility in battling corruption or its appearance cannot justify the statute's ham-handed regulation of core First Amendment activity."
Captain Queeg must be grinding his teeth tonight.
