December 4, 2002. Sen. Russ Feingold talks to reporters outside
the U.S. District Court after oral arguments on Title I of the BCRA.
The joint introduction (government and intervenors) to the defendants'
brief (Party and Candidate Soft Money Provisions) stated:
"The core provisions of the Act work to restore the
law to what it was when Congress banned corporations and unions from making
contributions or expenditures from general treasury funds in connection
with federal elections in 1907 and in the 1940s; when it imposed limits
on contributions by individuals to candidates and parties in 1974; and
when it treated coordinated expenditures as contributions in 1976."

Briefs on the Campaign And Media Legal Center website. |
