Our View McCain Feingold law undermines free speech
An editorial argues that the McCain Feingold campaign finance law curbs First Amendment rights before it takes effect. It cites FCC rulings on late night hosts and exemptions for church and charity groups, warns the law tilts election outcomes, and questions panel driven speech decisions. It notes potential challenges by activist groups and laments limits on broad political debate and soft money.
