US Supreme Court/McCain Feingold

I hear that the U.S. Supreme Court has shot down the major parts of the stupid, politically motivated, McCain/Feingold Act that limits us, thru the GOA, NRA, etc. from campaigning prior to the end of an election. Any real word???

Sailor,

I heard about it, but I'm not sure from what I read how extensive a change it was. They way I look at it some is better than none.

Here is a link to CNN's story. (I know..typing CNN makes me want to puke too!!)

The 5-4 ruling seems to have gutted, in our favor, this stupid piece of legislation. The NRA, GOA, etc. will now be able to by single interest political adds before elections.

Thanks to Deron W. for the info.
