Our Republic has been officially terminated. We are now an oligarchy, ruled by the few who have forcibly taken power in Washington DC. The means to secure peaceful change may no longer be in our grasp.
Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. (John F. Kennedy)

It thought GWB said the Supreme Court would fix the Campaign Finance Act that he signed into law?

Could somebody please hurry up and embalm our dead Constitution? The corpse is starting to stink up the place.

Who do you think the Democrats are hell bent on controlling who is put on the Supreme Court?

It may be time to find an offshore location and start up Radio Free America.

The SC knew they could do this when they saw our leaders stay quiet over the Ten Commandments travesty in Montgomery. It's time for our leaders to stand up for freedom of speech and worship...NOW!

I once had a Lib dimwit tell me that the 2nd Amendment didn't, or shouldn't, apply to modern firearms; that the founding fathers would never have sanctioned private ownership of "assault weapons." I retorted that the 1st Amendment, then, ought not apply to modern media such as radio and television. And now it doesn't. Damn...

If they're going to gut an amendment, why not start with the 17th? Then the whole issue goes away because the elections go away.

The means to secure peaceful change may no longer be in our grasp.It never was. Those in power NEVER peacefully give it up. IT appears that the ballot box has been stuffed, the jury box has been rigged, and the soap box has been hushed. There is just one box left and they ae working hard to take that one away.

It seems we are losing ever more control over our government, with bans on political speech being only one more step on the ever-shortening path into the darkness.

Concerned Women for America's Chief Counsel Jan LaRue noted that the decision means less protection for political speech, the very speech the First Amendment aims to shield, than for pornography. Then that solves the whole problem right there. Political candidates can simply skirt the CFR regulations by creating pornographic campaign ads.

90-page statute implemented by a thousand pages of complex regulations. Make law complicated enough and everone is in violation.

I have proudly stood by President Bush through all this. And I remember all the talk about, "don't worry, a lawsuit will be filed and SCOTUS will take care of the unconstitutional parts of the law."
So President Bush signed it. And I had my doubts. Now SCOTUS has acted. Maybe .1% (that's 1/10 of 1 percent) of the sheeple will understand what they lost today.
President Bush, I really, really want to vote for you next year. But it seems you don't want my conservative vote.
That whooping and hollering you hear in the background are the RATS and libs celebrating the takeover of the country without firing a single shot.

I believe that when the first revolution was under consideration, whiskey occupied a prominent place on the table. Think I'll go pour a bit of scotch.

I'm afraid you may be right...
I can't figure this one out... The SCOTUS rules that exotic dancing is protected "free speech," but buying political advertisements before an election is NOT protected "free speech."
This definately turns the entire concept of the Bill of Rights on it's head.
If congress can outlaw political expression, they'll certainly try to outlaw and confiscate privately owned guns. They'll have to.
