Courts - Still more on Doe v. Reed
Election law expert Rick Pildes has a entry titled "The First Amendment, Direct Democracy, and the Risks of Technology: Today's Court Decision in Doe v. Reed," here on Balkinization blog.
And Tom Goldstein has expanded his earlier post to conclude:
the decision is perhaps most significant for what it means for disclosure provisions under consideration in the pending campaign finance legislation that would respond to the Court’s Citizens United decision. There seems a solid group of five votes to uphold virtually any disclosure regime. But today’s ruling does not suggest that any member of the Citizens United majority would retreat from that decision to uphold provisions limiting corporate expenditures in elections.Rick Hasen of Election Law Blog has not yet weighed in. Check back.
[More] Hasen has now posted this entry titled "Initial Thoughts."
