Yes I do think it's unconstitutional and to day that I'm overreacting and that Rush and Shaun are overactting is very stupid, very idiotic and very foolish.

What this is going to do is alloow goverment bureaucrat to do some very malicious and very harmful things right before election time people like myself will not be allowed to address these issues. This could very well effect FR too even though it's an Internet outlet because if people like me call a candidate to the carpet on their policy it might end up being construed as an "attack ad" even though it's on the Internet. The way this was written is that bad.

I've read the entire thing in it's entirety and it is indeed very dangerous dicta that is going to end up doing enormous harm to this country and to say Rush and Shaun and myeself and a lot of the other freepers are overaccting with our observations is stupid, idiotic and foolish.

Yesterday's Rush show was him at his very best since his return to the air and he was right on the money about this law. You might try and read some of the other observations on this. It would give you a far different perspective than what you've stated.

Just for reference to all participating in this thread I would like to call your attention to this post.Justice Antonin Scaila's Dissent.

I think it'll give everyone an idea of just how very dangerous this dicta is.

I watched the lawyers who argued this case before the court on CSPAN last night and almost all the comments made here by those who are outraged by the ruling are WRONG. That includes those by the luminaries you mention whom I like in general.

No one is prevented from doing anything EXCEPT soft money ad producers at SPECIFIC times and in SPECIFIC forms on SPECIFIC media. EVERYONE can change their method and do EXACTLY what they want that they could do before the law.

The element challenged changes very little other than the form through which these ads are paid for. Other elements may be challenged in the future with different rulings.
