GOP Sues To Overturn McCain-Feingold

View the original

Wonder how the GOP's 2008 standard bearer feels about this one. Notice how the AP wire story doesn't mention the law's name, and its chief GOP sponsor, until fourth paragraph. Who says the media has a liberal bias?

WASHINGTON – Republicans are making another run at overturning a ban on unlimited "soft money" contributions. Their Democratic rivals say it is an attempt to bring big money back to politics because the GOP can't keep up with President Barack Obama's fundraising machine.

The Republican National Committee is suing to overturn part of a ban on unlimited contributions passed by Congress in 2002 and upheld by the Supreme Court a year later.
