Thank you for the post. I am a long time fan of Jonah, and

he is as usual, right on the money.

"Again, I'm not against the ruling because it's censorship. I'm against the ruling because it is precisely the kind of censorship the Constitution is supposed to limit to the maximum extent possible."

Perfect!

The State has never had the right to look at banning a product, like cigarettes. The Constitution never said the State should be involved in legislating a product out of business.

The States and Judicial systems have overrode the Constitution for decades, and noe one has fought it.

So we continue to have these cenors using State taxes to take away what they want to control for more taxing purposes.

If they could tax soft political contrbutions, McCain and company would be overruled.

Ops4 God BLess America!

Shame on us all.

And shame on Congress, the public, and the destructive and complicit mainstream media for acting as if this 'Supreme Court Abomination' is merely equal to a jaywalking violation.

This country is about finished when the people become so somnambulant and ignorant of events because the media wants them to be that ignorant of events. It suits their purpose. Isn't that swell?

It's an outright CRIME, and nearly no one gives a damn. Where are the protests? God, have we fallen. I'm embarrassed for this country.

the ruling is "the most significant change in the First Amendment since the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which tried to make it a crime to criticize a member of Congress."

One thing is for sure, few members of Congress will have the ba**s to criticize the Supreme Court. What's that tell you? What a bunch of quivering-lipped cowards we have as representatives. Every American should be embarrassed .

Representative Republic, Freedom of Speech.........yeh, sure!

Apparently, we've spent so much time using the First Amendment to defend stuff the founders would have had no problem censoring that we've forgotten what it was truly designed to defend.
If everything is "important," nothing is important.

The real corruption involved in continually manufacturing new "rights" lies in the concommitant erosion of the meaning of the word, "right."
