You are correct! The Incumbent Protection Act (aka Campaign "Reform" Act) is completely unconstitutional! It is in direct violation of the First Amendment, which is supposed to protect freedom of speech -- ESPECIALLY political speech!
However, that was NOT part of the Patriot Act. And, it was mainly supported by Democrats and John McCain -- erm, that's redundant...
But yeah, mostly the Left side of the aisle was all in favor of that thing, along with a few country-club/RINO Republicans. Unfortunately Bush went ahead and signed the damn thing.
Yeah, we'll just let it slide and hope the courts declare it unconstitutional. Riiiight. Good friggin' luck with that bunch of socialists in the Supreme Court.
