<i>He introduced the campaign finance bill that forced the government to argue before the Supreme Court that it had the power to ban books with political opinions it didn&#x27;t agree with, the same argument that led to the Citizens United decision.</i><p>Did you oppose that bill at the time, on the grounds that it would lead to such ridiculous arguments? If you had, you would have been the only one. Most First-Amendment nose-thumbers loved that bill. I suspect their hearts were in the right place, just as I suspect McCain&#x27;s was (then, on that topic; various statements made since have been disconcerting).<p>It <i>would</i> be nice if the rich bastards didn&#x27;t play the body politic like a marionette, but this isn&#x27;t the way to change that.<p>The fact that you didn&#x27;t lead off with a reference to the Keating Five indicates to me that you don&#x27;t actually know much about McCain or his career.
