The Supremes almost always uphold campaign finance restrictions on political speech. To be fair, a few who supported his signing of the bill have acknowledged now that it was a mistake.

Yes, a few have. Unfortunately I see the same people reading the tea leaves and telling me the prescription drug bill will lead to privatization. I suspect most will learn nothing from this exercise, and will still refuse to look at history when predicting the consequences of actions.

Well said and so true.

I don't know what it will take for the people of America, to wise up and see what decisions like this are doing to their right of individual freedoms. In the old days, citizens would be standing on roof tops, shouting out their disapproval of such excessive government restrictions. Today, many people, even many FReepers, call such outrages, nothing more then "bitching and moaning". LOL They want the people of this great nation, to remain silent and subservient to the powers that be. It would appear, the US Constitution means nothing to them. NOTHING!

Free Republic is suppose be about defending the US Constitution and advancing the conservative agenda. Both the Constitution and the conservative agenda have taken major hits today with this decision by the USSC.
