Supreme Court Rules Against ABC in Free
Speech Case
On Dec. 10, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld campaign finance
reform legislation that bans certain political free speech
activities by the Associated Builders and Contractors and
its members.
In a sharply divided 5-4 ruling, the court upheld the Bipartisan
Campaign Reform Act, a measure introduced in 2002 by Senators
John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) that prohibits
corporations and groups such as ABC from broadcasting educational
advertisements that mention elected officials in the weeks
before a federal election.
Under this ruling, ABC's Free Enterprise Alliance will not
be able to broadcast legislative issue advertising within
60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary election
that mentions federal office holders, even if a critical
vote is before Congress during that time.
While ABC supports certain aspects of campaign finance reform
- such as full and prompt reporting of political donations
and "Beck" paycheck protections - ABC opposed
aspects of the McCain-Feingold bill that it said restricted
First Amendment rights.
