I am absolutely shocked. It appears that legislation attempting to suppress free speech violates the 1st amendment. Who woulda thunk it:
A federal court Friday struck down most of a ban on the use of large corporate and union political contributions by political parties, casting into doubt the future of the campaign finance law that was supposed to govern next year’s high-stakes presidential election.
The court also ruled unconstitutional new restrictions on election-time political ads by special interest groups and others. It barred the federal government from enforcing them and all other parts of the law it struck down.
Just a big fat in your face and I told you so to every moron who was in favor of this hideous legislation. I am still pissed at Bush for cynically signing it.
