"Monday's decision addresses what even some supporters of the law recognized as its constitutional Achilles' heel. Congress was concerned that some issue ads were veiled ads for or against a candidate — as they were. But in creating a net that would remove phony issue ads from the airwaves, McCain-Feingold arguably hauled in genuine issue ads — those designed to affect a legislator's vote, not to reelect (or de-elect) him."
