The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to release a decision which could gut the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. And that could mean even more media advertising in congressional and presidential campaigns, paid for by powerful interests.
How far will the justices go? Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold fears it could be pretty far. “If they overturn a hundred years of laws, it means that corporations or unions can just open their treasuries . . . and just completely buy up all the television time, and drown out everyone else’s voices,” Feingold said Monday in Racine.
