In a very well-written essay, Pete sounds the warning: the McCainiacs/Feingoldistas will, if they can, obviate the First Amendment's "free speech" clause.
They have already derogated from the concept with their ridiculous, self-serving, and labrynthine "reforms," which have squelched Wisconsin Right-to-Life (among others) and which may generate a fair amount of lawsuits beginning in September of this year, when the "60-day period of omerta" kicks in prior to the November elections.
Pete points out that it's not just Rush, Da Godfoddah, and Belling which will be targets; it's bloggers who have opinions, as well. (See the right-hand column on this blog for a convenient list of targets.)

Just add your links to the bottom of my post. I see you found the Brian Anderson article as well. He wrote a variation of it in the Wall Street Journal last Wednesday.
