I must admit, I am stunned at the length of the opinion. While I still think that the basic upshot is that the key provisions have been taken out of the bill. The more I read about the decision, the more it seems there is a lot of muddy water out there, and knowing what one can and cannot do as a candidate is rather confused at this point.

Still, to me, the main issues are the definition of soft money, and to whom it can be donated, and the definition of “issue advocacy” and what that definition means in terms of whom can say what.
