Alito said in response to a question of "where's the line" on what can be posted on the Internet. "I would be reluctant to support restrictions on what people could say."

Huzzah for Sam Alito!

And thanks be to God that SDO retired!

“The court broadly upheld McCain-Feingold’s restrictions in 2003 on a 5 to 4 vote”

5 to 4 ain’t broad-ly upheld... but a “broad” is why it passed!

Free-Speech limits are just not "dangerous" they are complete wrong and go against the very foundation of America's freedom. The whole fabric of our society would crumble if people had to watch what they wanted to say or were silence by specific legislative forces.

The genius of America's system is you can say whatever you want no matter how intellegent or stupid it may be!

It always astounds me how many liberals and RINOs are so much more eager to restrict political expression (ala McCain/Feingold) than they are to allow any sort of limits on terrorist incitement and collusion, i.e., if any sort of 1st Amend. limits are to be allowed it should be to root out the worst terrorists and their supporters, not to trash political speech.

And the court is also deciding a challenge to a part of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law that says corporations, unions and special interest groups may not name federal candidates in ads broadcast in the run-up to elections. A group called Wisconsin Right to Life says that is an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.

"I'm a very strong believer in the First Amendment and the right of people to speak and to write," Alito said in response to a question of "where's the line" on what can be posted on the Internet. "I would be reluctant to support restrictions on what people could say."

Bad news for the Democrats who want to reinstate the "fairness doctrine" to censor talk radio.

Rights are protections against government. When the government can decide the limits of your rights, you don't really have any.
