...that wonderful old relic of a bygone era: the U.S. Constitution.

It's passed time to do something for the founding fathers whose legacy to us has been squandered by the disgusting gaggle we appropriately call our political class.

They've screwed up the lives of every American for decades, now it's time to shove them out the door into the obscurity they deserve!

I agree. This is over the line. Thankyou Jorge for signing CFR and silencing all voices BUT the Leftie Media. Nice that they still have Free Speech.

This election cycle, the affected groups should run TV ads showing the dirty five Supremes, with copy that reads something like:

"We would normally be telling you what we think about the candidates running for public office, but this year the these five unelected individuals have said we don't have the right to do that! So all we can say is vote as if your freedom of speech depended on it, because it does!"

Depressing but a good article.

Perhaps labeling an advertisement a "sham" is like naming someone an "enemy combatant"--all constitutional rights are then lost.

Sham ad. Kinda like Hate speech (or crime).

I am very suspicious of the critics of the Supreme Court decision upholding the Campaign Finance Law.

Virtually the only people whose donations to political candidates is restricted by that law were the Very Wealthy who could kick in many thousands to a single candidate to buy influence and access. The vast majority of us give the sort of small contributions that are utterly unaffected by this law. I suspect that the Big Money interests, eager to buy (or at least rent) a politician, are the ones driving this "movement" to overturn the law.

Don't I know it.

But like good Americans....we'll do no more than complain (we do not wish to upset the government too much) and vote GOP when the time comes. Won't We?

P.S. Not m, I'm leaving the GOP plantation. The GOP treats conservatives the way the Dems treat blacks. Rove dares us to not vote for Bush.

I'm calling his bluff.

I write a daily Common Sense e-letter, which is distributed free to all intelligent, well-informed people. What can I say or not say in the 30 days before a primary and the 60 days before a general election?

Actually, my understanding is that the law applies only to broadcast ads. That's not to say that the corrupt Washington oligarchy won't criminalize email, paper or commentary ads if they proved annoying to the ruling elite.

I found a place that is going to allow criticism of incumbents all the way up to the election. They should be applauded for their patriotism. HERE
