I agree with you that issue ads have a very proper place in election campaigns. I won't defend that part of the bill. As I've made clear, I don't like the bill any better than the Prez. I just think Bush had no good alternatives here. Wild allegations that Bush violated his oath of office are just over the top. Reasonable people can, however, disagree over how Bush played a hand with no pairs and no face cards.
I would, however, rate the chances of reversal of the 60-day limits by the Supremes at 65-70%, which would improve the bill considerably.
Freegards.
Wild allegations that Bush violated his oath of office are just over the top. Agreed. So far.

The cards are still being dealt. It is still possible he's merely checked the bet to the Supremes at this time.
