Campaign Finance At the Supreme Court Today

Today the Supreme Court will hear one hour of oral arugments in the consolidated cases of McCain, et al v. Wisconsin Right to Life and FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life. The issue is whether the ban on electioneering communications present in McCain-FEingold is subject to "as-applied" challenges even though the Court upheld the law in a facial challenge in teh case of McConnell v. FEC in 2003. SCOTUSBlog has a very good preview of the case. Prof. Rick Hasen has comments and links to lots of other commentary and the briefs in the case.
