What do you think about the right of interest groups to run expensive ads just before an election?  Should it be limited?  In the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002, Congress prohibited political ads by interest groups within 60 days of an election, and the Supreme Court heard a challenge to its constitutionality  last September.  A decision is expected soon.  Do you think this regulation is constitutional?
