Next week, the Supreme Court reconvenes early for a special hearing
on the constitutionality of campaign finance limits for
corporations and unions. To hear the arguments, Bill Moyers sits
down with Trevor Potter, president and general counsel of The
Campaign Legal Center and a former chairman of the Federal Election
Commission, and Floyd Abrams, a partner and member of the executive
committee at Cahill, Gordon and Reindel. Potter has defended
McCain-Feingold in the lower and Supreme Courts and served as
general counsel to Senator John McCain's presidential campaigns in
2000 and 2008. Abrams is a liberal litigator who has defended the
First Amendment in several high profile cases and contends that
corporations and unions have the same right to free speech as
individuals.
