Why is this even an issue? We have freedom of speech - end of story. The FEC can shove it.

We're supposed to have the right to bear arms - yet governments tell us what guns we can and cannot buy, and when and where we can carry them.

We're supposed to have freedom from searches without due process - yet the government can set up roadblocks to check our blood alcohol level without due process.

We're supposed to have a federal government limited by the Tenth Amendment - which is basically a dead letter unless it serves a particular pet cause by the Federalist wing of the Supreme Court - which would be fine and dandy except that same wing almost never saw a violation of the Fourth Amendment that they couldn't condone.

So don't go looking to the Constitution for your freedoms. The federal government sure as heck doesn't any longer.

There is a reason why we have the right to bear arms you know.
