Wait....I thought this was supposed to be a genius move by Bush signing this since we all KNEW that SCOTUS would toss it......

This is pathetic. SCOTUS once again is the tyrants in black robes.

This law is unconstitutional and not worthy of being followed by me. If I'm doing some project that breaks the 60 day law, I won't care, and won't be going to jail for it either.

BTW - Here's an easy trick to get around campaign finance laws

Form a PAC, donate thousands of dollars to it, and 'split' the donations in half by "trading checks" with your buddies. "Split" the $50,000 among enough people to be the 'legal limit'.

Not that I condone that or anything.

This does not apply to you personally, only your issue advocacy group. Anyone here can still walk into a TV station, cut a check from their personal funds and run an attack ad.

Not that I'm defending this total piece of crap from the court, but the decision only affects groups, not you personally.
