“There is one thing that I did want to clarify. Obviously if you have an ad that is running and under the new definition of express advocacy of Shays-Meehan that ad is included and, as I said, I think it is so broad and so ambiguous and subject to so many interpretations, the Supreme Court has already declared part of this language unconstitutional. But obviously you can run those ads. The gentleman was correct. You can run the ads, but the group would have to form a PAC, the group would have to have an attorney, the group would have to file all those reports with the FEC and that is precisely the type of chilling effect that the Supreme Court has repeatedly said you cannot require.”
