The Supreme Court today ruled that Wisconsin Right to Life had the right to run issue advertisements which urged citizens to call Sen. Kohl and Sen. Feingold and ask them not to obstruct President Bush’s judicial nominees. The pro-life group was prosecuted under the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, and an appeals court ruled their communication was unlawful political speech because it referred to specific candidates and occurred too close to the 2004 elections. The Supreme Court’s decision today is not just a victory for one pro-life organization but is an encouraging development for those championing the cherished right of free speech.
