Following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Wisconsin Right to Life (WRTL) case last week, on June 29 the Court sent back another case (Christian Civic League of Maine Inc. v. Federal Election Commission) to the lower court for a new ruling consistent with the WRTL June 25th decision. The Christian Civic League (CCL) had asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal of a lower court's ruling that dismissed its challenge to restrictions on funding of political ads under the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA). The CCL case involved ads referring to Senator Olympia Snow (R-ME) during her re-election campaign last year. A three-judge panel dismissed the CCL lawsuit last September saying the challenge was moot because the ads were on legislation that had already been voted on. And the court would not grant an exception for ads that might come up again in the future. For more information visit the James Madison Center for Free Speech.
