So the Dems who sought "campaign finance reform," via "McCain-Feingold" (*) are now trying to get an exception to allow George Soros to spend his "soft money" to help Dems. It seems the "legally collected" $160 million war chest that Shrub has collected is scaring the Dems, who have raised vastly less. They are looking with lust at the coffers of Soros and others, except the "campaign finance reform" laws they got passed are a problem... (* McCain is officially a Republican, but is actually deeply statist and is to the left of Ted Kennedy on many things) The Constitutional principle is crystal clear on all of these "limits on speech": there ain't none. If Tim May wants to speak out, buy ads, write articles, hire others to speak out, he can. Ditto for George Soros. Ditto for anyone else. Period. The fact that the Supreme Court has not said "Just what part of the First Amendment have you not read?" and struck down the laws is symptomatic of the sick adhocracy we now live in. I cannot wait for the mushroom cloud over D.C. --Tim May "Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound"
