Original message
The Congress has a couple of options to counter Court decision.
They could re-instate the Fairness Doctrine. That would terribly piss off Rush Limbaugh and the Republicans but that is something the Congress could pass. It could prevent unlimited spending on ads because it would demand television stations, and they could re-write it to include cable television, to give equal access to both sides of political issues.
Or they could pass a new Campaign Finance Reform bill. I'm sure they could get John McCain to lead on this issue. And that could stymie the Court's effort to favor big-spending corporations from intimidating or downright bribing of elected officials. The Congress is not powerless in this situation.

Sounds like a good idea until they realize Keef would be affected by that too. :lmao:
Maybe we should apply it to the internet as well and make $kimmer welcome conservatives at DU. :-)
