FEC Makes the Right Call

Today is a great day for freedom of speech on the 'net: the FEC has given the green light for blogs to be exempt from campaign finance regulations. The FEC ruling is here.

The bigger point, though, as Steven Den Beste points out in the RedState comments section:

But I remain appalled that Congress passed, the President signed, and SCOTUS approved the gross violation of the First Amendment known as the "McCain-Feingold Act". I'm glad for this decision, but it should never have been a subject of dispute in the first place. The idea that "You can say whatever you want about politics as long as you don't spend any money distributing your words" is preposterous.
