The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

DC court whacks McCain-Feingold

Remember those ads from Wisconsin Right to Life back in 2004, asking us to try to get Russ el-Slimeroad and Nobody’s Senator to break the filibustering of various judicial nominees? They were initially busted under the McShame-Slimeroad Lieberal Protection Act because el-Slimeroad was running for re-election at the time. After having the case sent back to them by the Supreme Court with instructions to “consider the merits of WRTL’s as-applied challenge in the first instance”, the DC District Court ruled 2-1 that it is, indeed, unconstitutional for Congress to prohibit mentioning a federal candidate’s name within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election if the aim of mentioning that name is to influence public policy.
