Law - Briefs filed in one of two campaign finance cases before U.S. Supreme Court
In two entries (here and here) on 9/27/05, the ILB reported on two campaign finance cases granted cert by the U.S. Supreme Court. Terre Haute attorney James Bopp, Jr., lead counsel in both cases, reports in a press release today that:
Wisconsin Right to Life ("WRTL") filed its opening Brief of Appellant in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc. v. FEC (04-1581). The case is seeking an exception for grassroots lobbying from McCain-Feingold's prohibition on corporate funding of "electioneering communications" (i.e., targeted broadcast ads referencing a federal candidate within 30 days before a primary election or 60 days before a general election).The full press release is available here. The brief is available here.
The filings should soon be available here, on the Northwestern University School of Journalism site - On the Docket, and here, on the ABA briefs page.
Here is the Supreme Court docket on the case.
