Congressman, is McCain-Feingold to be ruled on soon? The post above mentioned it.

McCain-Feingold (the Campaign Finance "Reform" Act) will be argued in the US Supreme Court on Monday the 8th. It has been specially set for that day -- the Court has never before heard any case in September, before the regular Term begins. And it has been given an exceptional four hours for argument by the various parties.

The Opinion of the Court will not be handed down for two to three months. I expect the decision to be very long, very complex, and vigorously split between Justice Scalia and Justice Goldberg, to choose to names not entirely at random.

I expect my brief filed in the case to be on the winning side. The Court should strike down either the entire law, or more likely, large chunks of the law, as unconstitutional. Anyone with an interest in constitutional law is welcome to read my brief. Go to:

http://www.supremecourtus.gov then click on "Campaign Finance Case" then scroll down to "Amicus Briefs." Mine is the one filed for the "American Civil Rights Union."
