Right-of-center activists roundly applauded the Supreme Court's Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life ruling this week because it rolled back aspects of the draconian McCain- Feingold campaign-finance law. Yet only 11 days earlier, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld a Washington State campaign-finance provision dealing with unions, and a few activists viewed the ruling as a mandate to promote more such laws.
A Wisconsin advocacy group Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to rule this term in a case involving the rights of such organizations to sponsor broadcast public-issue ads that name political candidates during election cycles. The justices are scheduled to meet Friday to discuss whether to hear Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life Inc.

Three Supreme Court rulings this week show the difference President Bush's two pivotal court appointments have made. It is easy to lose sight of the difference in the current political climate. With the appointment of Justice Samuel Alito in 2005 to replace the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor, a conservative majority became a working reality on a great many current and future issues. This dividend of the 2004 presidential election - and, we should mention, this dividend of the conservative revolt against the nomination of Harriet Miers in 2005 - is likely to rank as Mr. Bush's most lasting achievement once his eight years in the White House are concluded. Each ruling in its own fractious way - Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life, Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation ...

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Friday to hear a case involving the constitutionality of part of a federal campaign finance law that a lower court held should not be applied to three radio ads. The justices will hear oral arguments in Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life Inc. and set a briefing schedule accelerating review of the case, which could be decided this spring or summer. Both sides of the case requested an expedited review of the dispute, in order to have the controversy settled in time for the 2008 election cycle. The FEC case was consolidated with a companion legal action brought by U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and other senators against the pro-life group, raising similar issues. McCain was a key author of the law.
Releasing a list of cases that will be reviewed in the new term, the Supreme Court on Tuesday: Stepped into two disputes over the constitutionality of limits on campaign finance laws, agreeing to hear a challenge of a federal law and a second case involving Vermont's rules. Randall v. Sorrell, 04- 1528, Vermont Republican State Committee v. Sorrell, 04-1530, and Wisconsin Right to Life v. Federal Election Commission, 04-1581.
The Supreme Court's Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life ruling repealing part of the McCain-Feingold campaign- finance law is a landmark court decision that strengthens our Constitutional Right of Free Speech. Unfortunately, this court decision did not repeal the contribution restrictions under previous Supreme Court rulings that limit the supply and flow of money to political parties and the campaigns of nonwealthy candidates. As a consequence, this court decision is portrayed negatively by many news outlets because it only restores Free Speech to special interest groups. The irony here is that in their effort to reduce the influence of money in politics, the reforms have unwittingly fostered creation of two distinctly different political groups - those with unrestri...
