SCOTUS did not uphold the McCain-Feingold bill. They upheld a somewhat related case regarding a 32 year old federal law prohibiting adcovacy groups from giving campaign contributions to a candidate.
The title of this article is somewhat misleading, something we've come to expect from the mainstream media.
I feel that some parts of McCain-Feingold will not survive - for example, the 60 days prior to an election (or however many days it is) ban of all campaign advertisements.
I'm kind of surprised liberal activists aren't raising as much of a stink. McCain-Feingold aka The Media's Political Views Empowerment Act also bestows the same influence on banes of liberal existence like Limbaugh-Hannity-Savage-O'Reilly.

They think that it's just Limbaugh and the audio-only Hannity/Savage that they have to worry about. They haven't quite acknowledged that we've got our feet in the door of TV.
