The writing is on the wall after last week's Supreme Court ruling in Wisconsin Right to Life v. FEC, says law professor Richard L. Hasen -- within a few years, there will be little left of campaign finance law. But beyond that issue, Hasen says the decision shows precisely how Chief Justice John Roberts intends to undo the Court's remaining liberal precedents.

Bush no doubt will have a second term as president. But our election administration system is badly broken, and there's good reason to believe the problems won't be fixed in time for 2008, when the next election could create yet another Florida debacle.
