This does not apply to you personally, only your issue advocacy group. Anyone here can still walk into a TV station, cut a check from their personal funds and run an attack ad. Not that I'm defending this total piece of crap from the court, but the decision only affects groups, not you personally.

That's just jolly. So George Soros can buy an attack add, but I can't get together with a few tens of thousands of my closest friends and do the same?

It's not just the freedom of speech and press clauses of the first amendment that they ripped up, but in effect the assembly and petition parts as well.

That's exactly what it means.

Yup, that's the problem. Freepers want to get together, they can't. But Babs, and Cher, and Martin Sheen can each spend to their heart's content.
