re: #358 tnguitarist

The fact that we need to pass laws to cover the holes created by the CU ruling, tells me all I need to know.

What is that? That passing unconstitutional legislation leaves the risk that gaps in the law are left when it is struck down? Possibly more thought should go into that on the front end during legislation.

That the current laws are inadequate after campaign laws being struck should bot be surprising. Imagine the fallout of there is a 5-4 ruling overturning the health care legislation. In either case, laws were originally passed because of a perceived need—that need will still be there when the laws get struck.

In my view, campaign finance reform should rely heavily on disclosure rather than limits (other then restricting foreign involvement) on spending.
