How do you come up with such stuff? This hurts freedom no more than the inability to yell "fire" in a crowded theater.
And it implements a power granted to Congress WITHIN the constitution so how could that "hurt" the constitution?

And it implements a power granted to Congress WITHIN the constitution... You suggest that Congress was granted the power to abridge the freedom of speech, and of the press. Tell us: when, exactly, was the 1st Amendment repealed?

Congress has now made it illegal for advocacy groups to place ads w/in 60 days of an election which are supportive of a candidate or critical of a candidate. O.K. ...and the compelling reason for such a restriction on political speech is......stampede? no. Mayhem? no. Protection of incumbents? Bingo.
Yeah, I guess your right it's the same principal. /sarcasm

I'll just let your comments stand as the sterling example of obtuseness and ignorance that they are.
