Is the McCain-Feingold law even constitutinal?

[ihopehefails]

The recent decision on corporation free speech has angered a lot of liberals but no one on either side has even asked IF and I stress IF the federal government has any power to regulate how any campaign should be done. I believe that that power is reserved for the state that the representative or senator comes from and if I am wrong can someone point something in the constitution that gives the federal government that power.

Congress shall make NO LAW...

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

McCain Feingold seems to be suffering a death by a thousand cuts. Every time the Supremes take up some part of it they find it unconstitutional. Rightly so.
I always thought McCain should be ridden out of the GOP on a rail just for that piece of legislation.

Didn't W. say he thought it was unconstitutional... right before he signed it?

Yup. Looks like he was right too.

Yep. Which really annoyed me. He should have vetoed it
