McCain-Feingold Ruled Constitutional

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has upheld the soft money ban of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. Justices OConnor, Stevens, Ginsberg, Souter, and Breyer formed the majority. Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy dissented. The New York Times report is here. I have not yet located a html version of the entire decision.

The decision increases the importance of the new so called 527 political groups. Read about them here.
