DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: This just in to CNN. We told you earlier that President Bush has indeed signed the the campaign reform finance bill. Well, now we're getting word that Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has filed the first lawsuit challenging that bill. Even when President Bush signed it, he said it was far from perfect.

But once again, the first lawsuit has been filed trying to block that bill as it becomes law.
