Contrast this with the Bi-partisan Campaign Finance Reform Act authored by John McCain (R) and Russ Feingold (D), passed by Congress and signed into law in 2004 by President G.W. Bush, which prevents "special interest groups" - meaning everyone but the media - from running political advertising for the last 60 days of a campaign. How's THAT for "inviolable" ?
