If the communication occurred close to an election, mentioned an officeholder who was running for reelection, and was targeted to put pressure on congressmen through constituents in each representative's district, all of these factors would push toward outlawing the communication.

Our government has finally crossed the line. Calling this Tyranny is not hyperbole. The republic is dead.

My fellow Americans, you are worms for voting for the people who passed this law. And you'll confirm your stupidity by voting for them again. My only consolation is you've got the government you richly deserve - an oppressive one. Enjoy it!

You said it.

The GWB knee-pad crew was busy telling us what a patriotic genious their boy-wonder was when he violated his oath of office by signing this s**t, because everyone knew the SC would strike this down.

Hey but he "outsmarted the dems once again".

"Our government has finally crossed the line. Calling this Tyranny is not hyperbole. The republic is dead."

It crossed the line a long time ago. Problem is, we didn't do anything about it when it would have been easier to confront. I am reminded of Winston Churchill's words about when it is the right time to fight (and I'm paraphrasing here, so bear with me): "Still, if you don't fight when the cost and sacrifice is low, and you have every chance of winning; you will come to a time when the cost and sacrifice is dear, and there is no assurance of victory; or worse, when your chance of winning is non-existent; but then you will the chance to fight and die, for it is better to die than to live as a slave."
