I will file a brief on 8 July, against McCain-Feingold. I may also be covering the oral argument for UPI on 8 September.

Let the games begin.

SHOWDOWN

[michigander]

Excellent!

[Forseti]

Are things like Moore's "documentaries" even covered under this law, or does it just crack down on the issue ads? I'll miss the NRA's half info spots on the evils of liberal gun control laws (and the party that supports those laws).

Every time I see "CFR" I think of "Code of Federal Regulations." :)

Looks like the Supreme Court wants to settle the whole mess of campaign finance reform once and for all. Because of the importance of this case, I doubt that any of the nine justices are going to announce their retirements prior to oral arguments in this case. FOUR HOURS? WOW!

Is four hours the longest the USSC has ever set aside to hear a case?

My guess is that McCain-Feingold will be relagated to the ash heap of history by a 6-3, and bitterly divided, vote.

I assume you will be posting your brief when you submit it.

Another note for all FREEPers who are Believers: Pray for the wisdom of our Justices and the continued health of particularly Justices Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas.

May Freedom Prevail.

Good! Your editorial was the best I've read on the subject.

[Quix]

Sorry, I'm clueless.

Is someone hoping the Supremes will OUT CFR as an anti-American cabal of Global Government Tyranny puppet masters?

I hardly think their cronies at the Supreme Court would do that. Besides, they don't want outed from this life.

Alright !!

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[RJayneJ]

Does the fact that they took it telegraph at all as to how they will rule?

[MeekOneGOP]

Hey, do you know the docket number?

Anyone ??

[ladyinred]

This is exactly what was expected. Hopefully, they will trash this puppy promptly. (maybe?)

[GovernmentShrinker]

Your FR profile page mentions a link to your Hoempage, where your articles can be found, but no such link seems to be present. Did it get lost in one of JohnRob's reconfigurations of FR technology?

[mykdsmom]

Ping FYI!!!!

[rwfromkansas]

Great having you on FR. Any further ponderings on chances of a retirement this year?

Well, that's good. When Bush passed the buck to the Supremes, I guess it shows that it takes a committee to do what the compassionate conservative swore to do when he took the oath of office.

Hopefully, the outcome is as certain as all the "conservative" apologists who voted for this abomination which violates our most fundamental right ("Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech") said it would be.

Of course, since they all decided to ignore the United States owner's manual, who says the Supremes won't too?

[metesky]

Good luck, CB. Go get 'em.
