“I appreciate the kudos, that this is a noble effort, a great job. We need votes in this, votes that will change the dynamics in this body. I appreciate the compliments. The gentleman from California (Mr. Campbell) is an extraordinary legal scholar, but he wants to challenge the Supreme Court, and he has got guts there, but I do not think when you are dealing with campaign finance reform, you ought to go right in the face of the Supreme Court. I think they make these decisions for a reason, and it is the loophole of the sham ads that you talk about, that loophole is called the first amendment. I think it is something to be cherished, something that is to be regarded, something that should not be discarded lightly. So I have problems with that approach, that we are just going to go up to the Supreme Court, we are going to cost citizens millions of dollars and we are not going to worry about it and hope they change their mind. I think that is the wrong approach.”
