I don't see the words "First Amendment" or "free speech" mentioned anywhere in the article. Forget about the murky arguments about who can do what with whose money, and emphasize instead what the law does to the right of individuals to speak in favor or in opposition to candidates anytime during a political campaign. Why not focus on that chilling suppression of our fundamental right, Professor??

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW

Another phrase our ruling elite doesn't understand.

05/10/2002 Proponents have called the legislation a first step at eliminating the influence and access of big-money donors.

05/05/2003 Let's hope the U.S. Supreme Court will sustain the promising start made Friday by a federal appeals court in reforming the McCain-Feingold law's so-called reforms.

Less than a year & already the courts think reform stinks.

I thought it stank from the beginning.

But such Utopian schemes often have unintended consequences

Not sure about that "unintended" part...
