All Parties Want Supreme Court to review WRTL Case
by Amanda Adams*, 1/4/2007
BNA Money and Politics (subscription required) reports that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the congressional sponsors of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) have appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in regards to the federal court ruling in the Wisconsin Right to Life Inc. (WRTL) case. It was ruled that the group had the constitutional right to sponsor three grassroots lobbying advertisements during the 2004 election. WRTL filed a motion asking the Supreme Court to expedite consideration of the FEC's appeal. Both sides want the Supreme Court to review the case quickly. Hopefully this will be the case, and the FEC will address the issue in a rule making.
