Subject: Campaign Finance Overhaul -- Non-Severability
Description: Dodd (D-CT) motion to table (kill) the Frist (R-TN) amendment that would provide that if one of several specific provisions in the underlying bill, mainly the ban on soft money, disclosure requirements for issue-group advertising, and hard money limits, is found to be an unconstitutional infringement of the First Amendment, then the other provisions specified would also be invalid. ACU supported Frist's amendment and opposed the Dodd motion, which violated an understanding under which the entire bill came to the floor of the Senate.
Result: Motion to Table Agreed to, 57-43
Names ordered: By yea/nay Order alphabetically Order by party Order by state
