Selective Constitutional Interpretation

This year's award for my hypocritical statements regarding the Constitution goes to... none other than our own Russ Feingold, who recently stated in this Op Ed:

We can defend our country from terrorists while at the same time protecting the rights and freedoms outlined in the Constitution.

Of course, I would suggest the following statement is also true Russ:

We can have free and fair election campaigns while at the same time protecting the rights and freedoms outlined in the Constitution.

Of course when it comes to that idea, you all of a sudden have a real problem with the Constitution.  Luckily as time as worn on, more and more of you stupid law has been struck down.

And for the record, I actually agree with Russ about FISA.

So basically what Russ is saying is that we should be free to speak to known terrorist operatives overseas, but severely limited in how we can communicate our ideas to our fellow voters. It almost makes you wonder which side he is interested in protecting.

If McCain benefits from soft money in the presidential election, specifically in ways that he and Feingold stated they were against, then I'd really like to see someone both call him on it and try to repeal the law.
