Washington, DC (TLS). In a striking victory for free speech, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a key component of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform that banned issues-oriented ads prior to election day.
The Court stated that disallowing these ads was an unnecessary infringement on the First Amendment right of freedom of speech.
McCain referred to the ruling as 'unfortunate,' another reason why he should never be elected President.
The Liberty Sphere has repeatedly called attention to the unconstitutional provisions of McCain-Feingold in limiting free speech in this country. Groups such as National Right to Life, the National Rifle Association, and many other groups were prohibited by McCain-Feingold from running issues ads prior to elections.
In ruling against this core provision of McCain-Feingold, the Court correctly restored free speech to the political process.
