Their legal theory is that paying someone to say misleading things in a negative ad is okay, but paying someone to remain silent is illegally promoting a candidacy.

The problem with this theory is that "freedom of speech" also includes the freedom to not speak.

The real ‘problem’ with the ‘freedom of speech’ issue is that ‘freedom of speech’ only applies to a citizen’s RIGHT to address the federal government with grievances WITHOUT PERSECUTION.

It has nothing to do with what one citizen may say to another or to any other entity.
