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 SCRAPBOOK, by contrast, is pleased as can be. Congratulations, Professor Smith.
