Eliza Newlin Carney offers this “Rules of the Game” column at National Journal on the two campaign finance cases the Supreme Court will hear in 2006. Meanwhile BNA reports (paid subscription required) that “In an unusual alliance, two prominent Democratic election lawyers are urging support for a Wisconsin anti-abortion group in a Supreme Court case that tests the limits on political advertising (Wisconsin Right to Life Inc. v. Federal Election Commission, U.S. No. 04-1581, cert. granted 9/27/05.) Attorneys Karl Sandstrom and Robert Bauer said in an Oct. 14 briefing that liberal groups should help the anti-abortion group make its case against campaign finance rules limiting television and radio ads. The Democratic lawyers said a range of so-called Section 501(c) nonprofit groups should weigh in for the Supreme Court fight by filing friend-of-the-court briefs.”
