McCain-Feingold oral arguments today

The Washington Post reports: The Supreme Court will take up a key element of the landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance law in a challenge to the constitutionality of restrictions on pre-election issue ads that mention a candidate by name.

Last year a lower court relaxed the law's restrictions on issue ads that are run by corporations, labor unions and other special interest groups in the final weeks of a campaign. -- Federal Election Law Faces Challenge - washingtonpost.com
