Will James Madison
Center go to the Supreme Court, seeking an injunction against enforcement
of the BCRA? See this
A.P. report, which says the following:
"Attorney James Bopp Jr.
said his clients, including National Right to Life and the Club for Growth,
planned to appeal the stay order to the federal appeals court in Washington.
His clients are challenging the political ad restrictions and the law's ban
on campaign contributions by minors; the court had struck down some ad restrictions
and the minor ban as unconstitutional but put them back into effect when it
suspended its decisions.'The court agrees these provisions strip us of our
rights, but they're going to allow them to be enforced anyway,'' Bopp said.
'That's just astonishing.'"
Presumably, the reporter meant that Bopp may go to the Supreme Court. The
three-judge court appeal goes directly to the Supreme Court.
