Victory!

In a victory for clean politics and lots of other good stuff, the Supreme Court upheld the McCain-Feingold bill. In my thinking, this promotes free speech, because politically motivated folks are going to have to find more legitimate means of making their views known than simply buying TV time. Watch for the creation of ideological TV and radio stations and newspapers. That, my friends, is free speech, and is protected by the Constitution. Just as speech that jeopordizes the security of the United States is not protected, neither is 'speech' that jeopordizes the integrity of America's elected representatives. Small campaigns - like small government - are beautiful.
