Justice Antonin Scalia dryly noted, for instance, that over the past four years the Court had disapproved of speech restrictions on virtual kiddy porn, tobacco advertising, illegally intercepted communications and sexually explicit cable programming, yet couldn't summon the nerve to allow citizens to criticize their own government.

When we loose on the court level - it's 99% chance of a permanent loss.

We can't leave this subject without also mentioning the abdication of President Bush on this issue. Though opposed to the bill, he nonetheless signed it in the hope that the courts would save him from his obligation to honor and defend the Constitution. Now we'll all have to live with the consequences.

We must have faith. Repeat after me: Bush is a conservative, as is the GOP Congress. Bush is a conservative, as is the GOP Congress. Bush is....

We the People must stop accepting agenda driven judicial fiat rulings without lawful basis defined under our ratified Constitution. this ratified Constitution is THE LAWof OUR LAND, not what the SCOTUS may contrive. This most recent appalling, mocking ruling is in direct violation of the limits of federal government's powers, "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech...".

This law is null and void on its face. Dead on arrival. This SCOTUS ruling is an insult to all Americans, living and dead. Money can corrupt only the corrupt people. The potential to corrupt and ?harm? incumbants during the final 30/60 days of an election so violate our 1st Amendment? What a pathetic violation.

What stare decisis? Bad law relying on proposterous, serial, flagrant violations of our Ratified Constitution's limits on the powers granted to the federal government upon its creation by the several states representing We the People. Stare decisis using international and EU law? Enemies of our Constitution by their own words.

These temporary employees of ours must face impeachment and removal from office. Congressmen and presidents must be defeated over their mocking violations of their oath of office. Nothing less. Much more. Such abuse of power in self-interest deserves much more. Shame and abuse, and no libaries named for them.

G.W. Bush has proven as president to be a socialist, willing to violate our Constitution (even before War Emergency Powers' executive orders are used to declare marshal law over us, but by some other softened nomclature), signing this "campaign finance law" under cover of night - in direct violation of his campaign promise. Members of Congress, G.W., and the SCOTUS again violated their oath of office and X-43's military oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.

5 members of our SCOTUS are domestic enemies of our RATIFIED Constitution. They can and do usurp power, but they cannot amend our RATIFIED Constitution - from the bench. They keep acting like it only so long as we the People allow it.

That debate time is over. This SCOTUS repeatedly cites international law as directing their rulings overturning our very civil rights. Enumerating personal liberties such as "privacy" is one thing; telling us the words of our Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment don't mean what the Amendments actually proclaim so clearly is sedition.

Because this SCOTUS 5 with the Legislative majority and President all acted to violate our 1st Amendment of our Bill of Rights, We the People must fight to re-establish our Rule of Law pursuant to the only basis of our soveriegn nation's law, our RATIFIED CONSTITUTION.

Someone said yesterday...its no big deal..as such laws are never really enforced...just a small fine at the max...

But the genie is out of the bottle..much like RICO that was passed to do away with organized crime...ended up in the hands of Clinton and used to prosecute the Pro-life movement while doing nothing to stem the tide of real organized crime...gang bangers...major drug dealers...etc etc etc..

There are many little Clinton-esque wannabes waiting in the wings...how will they use this law to extend their personalities upon the American people..

Dems and liberal activist judges are running us off the cliff at 100mph and the Pubbies at 43 mph

Welcome to the NWO
