I can't wait to see how the Usual Suspects rule on "Campaign Finance".

Do you think they'll put a 25 year time limit on letting that Law ride before upholding the clear intent and purpose of the 1st Amendment? This ruling certainly suggests such a precedent!

There's entirely too much hard law, over many decades, on freedom of speech and freedom of the press, for the Supreme Court to duck the campaign finance ruling for 25 years. I expect, and am suggesting to them, that they delay their ruling that CFR is unconstitutional, to give Congress 30 days or so to rewrite the law in accord with the Court's instructions.

The SC has given those kind of marching orders to Congress only a few times before. I think the Court will do that again in the CFR case.
