Oh happy day, oh happy day...... "Liberal Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer dissented." Everyone who is surprised, raise your hand.

Being incumbents, Hillary and Barak Hussein Osama Obama will take a hit from this as well as John McCain. Oh happy day, oh happy day......

Excellent. The McCain-Feingold-Thompson bill is being neutered.

I believe Fred Thompson backed this atrocious bill.

I like Fred. But I question his judgment at times.

“Many critics believed this part of the law was designed to make it harder to criticize incumbents close to an election,” said Michael Toner, a former member of the Federal Election Commission now at the Bryan Cave law firm. “But the upshot of this is that the Supreme Court’s ruling makes it easier to criticize incumbents than [it is to criticize] other candidates who do not hold federal office, such as Mitt Romney and other candidates who are not in Congress.”

LOL. This guarantees Congress will find a way to fix this now very serious problem.

Is Wisconsin Right to Life corporate or union funded? You’d think from the first paragraph that it was so. Yes, those entities will make their voices heard close to election day. So what? As long as we know who is saying the message, whether it is the Teamsters, AT&T, or a group of individuals who pool their money and run the ad, let them speak.

Yeah, that an angle I never thought of.

Can you imagine all of the issue ads targeting Hillary, while the liberal groups not being able to touch Thompson?

Well, thank Goodness!

This crap could have and should have taken a fatal hit from George W. Bush, if he weren't so interested in trying to "get along" with every left-wing wacko and control freak that comes his way.

Incumbents voted for BCRA not to clean money out of politics but to shut up their opponents. That's the real reason they passed McCain-Feingold. It wasn't done to make government truly responsive to the American people. Besides, at the end of the day, our right to petition our government for redress is guaranteed by the Constitution and we don't need the government's permission to exercise it. McCain and the rest of the Congressional crowd have zero respect for the Constitution. Or they never would have passed "campaign finance reform" in the first place.
