However, the bill does have flaws. Certain provisions present serious constitutional concerns....I believe individual freedom to participate in elections should be expanded, not diminished; and when individual freedoms are restricted, questions arise under the First Amendment. I also have reservations about the constitutionality of the broad ban on issue advertising, which restrains the speech of a wide variety of groups on issues of public import in the months closest to an election. I expect that the courts will resolve these legitimate legal questions as appropriate under the law. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, March 27, 2002.
Here we go again.
