The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel offers this report. In tangentially-related news, Tony Mauro has this analysis of last week’s argument in the WRTL case. These cases were brought to my attention before breakfast by Howard Bashman, whose run-in with Judge Kozinski shows that any attempted coverup is often worse than the initial transgression.
UPDATE: More McCain on McCain-Feingold (from FOXNews Sunday):

WALLACE: Another beef that conservatives have you, I don’t have to tell you, is McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform. They say it’s an assault on free speech, especially by conservative advocates.
When you see candidates spending more money — or raising more money than ever, spending more money than ever, when you see soft money that’s now banned from going to the parties instead going to these so-called 527s, which are even less accountable than the parties were, can you honestly say that McCain-Feingold is working?
J. MCCAIN: We’ve strengthened the parties. There’s millions more small donors. We have taken soft money, which was rampant in Washington, out of the game. The 527s are a violation of the ’74 law. The 527s are clearly illegal.
It’s not a problem with law. It’s a problem with the Federal Election Commission who will not enforce the law. So, yeah, we made significant progress, absolutely, and I’m proud of a lot of the results of this.
I lived in the environment where a powerful committee chairman would call up a trial lawyer, a union leader or a corporate head and say, “I need a check for seven figures from you, and by the way, your bill is up before my committee next week.”
That was routine operation in Washington, and we’re still seeing manifestations of this kind of corruption.
