McCain-Feingold

While I am glad of the Supreme Court ruling that found the McCain-Feingold Act unconstitutional, there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding on both sides as to what the law meant, and what is gained by the Supreme Court's ruling. The biggest complaint seems to be that the ruling will allow Companies with lots of money to influence elections--that it rewards the "haves" and punishes the "have-nots."

There are so many facets of this issue that I can in no way summarize in my own words. Please, I beg everyone, read up on this issue, and not just from the New York Times or CNN or MSNBC. And make sure and look out for "Lawmaker's Race to Limit Corporate Spending."

Here are some points of view I recommend:

John Lott

Bradley A. Smith

Chris Berg

Paul A. Rahe

Robert Frommer

James Taranto

E.V. Bone

James Hudnall

Ken Klukowski

Just to name a few...
