The Test of McCain-Feingold Hits Wisconsin

The New York Sun reports:

First Amendment bedrock principles will be on trial come September 6, when a special three-judge panel of the federal district court in Washington convenes to decide how much the right to petition is worth these days. A grassroots group, Wisconsin Right to Life, will be in court arguing for its right to air radio ads in respect of current legislation even, gasp, in the midst of an election season. It's a sign of just how out-of-control campaign speech regulation has gotten that Americans need to ask a federal court for a temporary restraining order to mention a senator's name on the airwaves.

That's McCain-Feingold for you.Some people want to stay in office forever.
