Wisconsin Right To Life Discussion
by Amanda Adams*, 1/26/2007
As previously noted, the Supreme Court will most likely not hear oral arguments in the Wisconsin Right To Life (WRTL) case until April. However, the current commotion over the case is strong, foreshadowing the commentary to follow the court's decision. Two blogs with differing opinion have been going back forth on the other's commentary. As these arguments bounce off of one another, so does the issue of the case, intent and influence of the WRTL advertisements. See Bob Bauer's latest blog at More Soft Money Hard Law and Rick Hasen's blog at electionlawblog.org. There is also an opinion piece in today's NY Post on the WRTL case with the fitting title, "Un-Squelching Free Speech. See the OMB Watch article, "Court Upholds Wisconsin Group's Right to Air Grassroots Lobbying Ads" for background on the case.
