Bradley A. Smith, the First Amendment and election law expert whose persecution by various campaign finance “reformers” has been chronicled in these pages over the past year, was confirmed to a seat on the Federal Election Commission May 24. The Senate vote in favor of Smith’s nomination was 64-35. Such opponents of free speech as Fred Wertheimer announced that they were appalled at the move. THE SCRAPBOOK, by contrast, is pleased as can be. Congratulations, Professor Smith.
