Here is the publisher’s press release:

Larchmont, NY, March 18, 2004-The landmark decision handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of McConnell v. Federal Election Commission is the focus of a series of articles and commentaries by prominent United States Senators, Commissioners at the Federal Election Commission, legal scholars, attorneys, and political scientists in the Spring 2004 (Volume 3, Number 2) issue of Election Law Journal, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. (www.liebertpub.com). Included in this special issue are commentaries by Sen. John McCain, Sen. Mitch McConnell, Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein, and FEC chair Bradley Smith, all of which are available free online (along with the issue’s introduction and table of contents) at www.liebertpub.com/ELJ.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ), co-sponsor of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA, also known as the McCain-Feingold law), leads off the issue with “Reclaiming Our Democracy: The Way Forward.” Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the most prominent opponent of BCRA, follows with a commentary entitled “The Future is Now.”
Three extended articles by leading scholars in the field-Lillian BeVier, Richard Briffault, and Michael Malbin-consider the consequences of the case for both constitutional law and the role of political parties in upcoming elections. Additional commentaries argue the merits and pitfalls of the Court’s decision and present multi-faceted views on the transformation of campaign finance law. Some papers defend the Court’s decision as a sensible and pragmatic decision, while others paint the McCain-Feingold law and the Court’s decision as an “assault on the First Amendment.”
The ELJ website offers a sample of these commentaries. Thomas Mann, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, and Norman Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, co-author a defense of the McCain-Feingold law and the Supreme Court’s decision in an essay entitled “Separating Myth from Reality in McConnell v. FEC.” Presenting an opposing view, Bradley Smith, Chair of the Federal Election Commission, pens a commentary entitled “McConnell v. Federal Election Commission: Ideology Trumps Reality, Pragmatism.”
“We are very excited about the publication of this symposium issue, which offers the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the Supreme Court’s most important campaign finance case in a generation. The issue offers analysis by the leading policymakers, lawyers, and academic thinkers in the field of campaign finance regulation,” says Richard L. Hasen, co-editor of Election Law Journal.
