Lyle Denniston has this post at SCOTUSBlog, which begins: “The major test case on the right to broadcast ads during election season appears to be at its end, after the Federal Election Commission and four members of Congress joined in a plea to find the ads at issue to be constitutionally protected. In a joint motion filed Wednesday, Wisconsin Right to Life, an advocacy group that opposes abortion, along with the FEC and the lawmakers urged a three-judge U.S. District Court to rule that a 2006 ad campaign could not be banned under the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act’s ‘electioneering communications’ ban. That ban applies to ads during election periods when the ad names an individual then running for federal office.”
