The reform quandary; as McCain-Feingold awaits final judgment, the debate continues about the merit and finer points of campaign finance reform

Article Abstract:

Campaign finance reform debate during the 20th century started with Watergate's abuses, which led to the Federal Election Campaign Reform Act and McCain-Feingold, stopped by a Republican filibuster in 1997 but to be brought up again in the Senate in 1998. Some states have successfully passed campaign finance reform laws. The idea of some reform advocates that television states should provide free air time to candidates for office would violate constitutional guarantees of free speech and be an unconstitutional taking.
