“Jim Bopp, the hard-charging lawyer who persuaded the Supreme Court to strike down crucial elements in the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, has a new target in his legal sights: a bank and taxation statute that hits Americans overseas. Mr. Bopp is assembling a legal attack on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, which he and other critics say intrudes on financial privacy and scares banks from doing business with Americans living overseas. In addition to his authorship of the McCain-Feingold law, Mr. McCain was one of the main proponents of the tax compliance act, which takes full effect July 1 — unless courts intervene.”
