From today’s Washington Post editorial:

Two other areas where Judge Roberts could shift the court are campaign finance regulation and affirmative action in education. In both areas, Justice O’Connor provided the decisive fifth vote for upholding challenged policies: the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law and race-conscious admissions at the University of Michigan. Judge Roberts’s elevation raises the possibility of the court’s taking a different course or even reconsidering those holdings, both of which we consider correct. It is particularly important that the court give Congress constitutional leeway to adopt effective campaign finance rules.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised that this issue is getting national attention, and perhaps will even be addressed in the confirmation hearings.
