I respect that line of reasoning.Once it is naked and on display in a court, the Sun will melt it down into a puddle on the floor. It will not stand. McCain - Feingold would fly in Russia or China, but not in the USA.
Yeah. But you gotta admit, people thought SCOTUS would rule sensibly in McConnell v. FEC. And look where that got us . . .
I should have added that a majority of non communist SCJ’s would rule against restrictions of free speech, political and otherwise.
We do have a few communists on the supreme court.
The constitution is viewed as something that must be destroyed to Ginsburg and Bryer. It is a contract for insuring peoples freedoms, between the people and government, and in their view it must be undermined at every opportunity. The “Government” is god to them, and they view themselves as the priests. Contracts are meaningless to communists.
