I mean, what provisions of the bill have survived?

As I see it, CFR is dead. If you can't limit large soft money donations or restrict speech, CFR is fundamentally broken as currently constructed.

Sounds like the whole thing has been gutted, which means that one of the few sections that survived is the title on severability, which means that if any part of the statute is invalidated, the rest can survive.
Sounds like that is all that is left.

My guess would be the only part left standing is the upping of the hard money contributions which are inflation adjusted annually now as well.
There was also that stupid millionaire's provision. Don't know what happened with that.

I mean, what provisions of the bill have survived? Raising hard money limit from 1,000 to 2,000 per person. Advantage GOP.
Looks like the one reason thing Bush could like about this bill is all that's left of it
