ACS Briefing: Campaign Finance Law, Issue Advocacy, and the Supreme Court
Apr 12 2007 - 12:30pm
On Thursday, April 12, 2007, ACS will host a panel discussion on the upcoming consolidated Supreme Court cases, FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life and McCain v. Wisconsin Right to Life, which deal with whether the "electioneering communications" restrictions imposed by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) impermissibly limit the free speech rights of nonprofit corporations. Advocates from a variety of perspectives will present their views on the cases and will preview some of the points likely to be raised when the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on Wednesday, April 25, 2007.
The panel will feature:
- Michael B. Trister, Partner, Lichtman, Trister & Ross, PLLC
- Benjamin L. Ginsberg, Partner, Patton Boggs LLP
- Paul S. Ryan, FEC Program Director & Associate Legal Counsel, Campaign Legal Center
