Over at the Captain's Quarter's Ed Morrissey posts an open letter to Senators McCain and Feingold, demanding his right to free speech in the face of the proposed anti-blogger rulings they have demanded of the Federal Election Commission.
The effect of this would have been to force me to shut down my blog, or convert it to something else. In fact, it would have caused me less legal heartache to convert my site to a porn blog and do nothing but post hard-core pictures all day long. In the twisted environment of the McCain-Feingold Act, that kind of website would enjoy greater First Amendment protection than my political speech, a result for which every single Senator should feel shame and outrage.As they say, read the whole thing. My comments on the issue are below.
