Back to the Bill of Rights. Sure hope the Supremes have some sort of integrity and on this one - Rule it out 9-0
So! If information comes out about a candidate 10 days prior to an election then the opposition cannot advertise it or call it to anyone's attention by paying for the advertising space.
That means that we the public are dependent upon those who control the news media to do the right thing and let us know about it.
Now who is kidding who?
If this the right thing to do then why is not applicable immediately? Close offf the war chests of those in power who can use them against those who are just opening their campaigns - can't be fair and right and the Supremes should cut through this one in short order.
Have Bush sign it and send it to the Supremes and lets get on with it.
As much as I dislike the negative ads I will accept them in that they do not stifle the ability to obtain information . Then I will sort out the information.
When a candidate makes a statement to one group I would hope the other group would be able to get the message out to those on the opposite side of the idea.
