Hillary and Bill should be in jail. It’s that simple.

More from the article:

At the first Supreme Court argument in March, a government lawyer, answering a hypothetical question, said the government could also make it a crime to distribute books advocating the election or defeat of political candidates so long as they were paid for by corporations and not their political action committees.

That position seemed to astound several of the more conservative justices, and there were gasps in the courtroom.

“That’s pretty incredible,” said Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.

The discussion of book banning may have helped prompt the request for re-argument. In addition, some of the broader issues implicated by the case were only glancingly discussed in the first round of briefs, and some justices may have felt reluctant to take a major step without fuller consideration.

The only reason McCain-Feingold is law is because Bush signed it. At the time he was certain the Supreme Court would strike it down. Guess what?

...it has turned into a juggernaut with the potential to shatter a century-long understanding about the government’s ability to bar corporations from spending money to support political candidates.
Just in time for all the gov't-owned businesses to bankroll the Demwits in 2010 and Obama's reelection in 2012. Thanks neverdem.
