Actually, it has not ben proscribed, that is a poor use of the word.

Political speech, in this bill, is curtailed in a certain period of time.No speech has been outlawed. There is a difference, and were it not for the hysteria induced myopia, you would see that.

They have established that they have the power to restrict when you can say certain things. They have set the initial time period as 60 days before it matters. They will adjust this as need be to stifle opposition. When they reach 365 days, you will probably (but not certainly) understand what happened to you.

No speech has been outlawed.

LOL, amazing conclusion.

You are comatose, these people are hysterical. The final end result of this hero worship has just been reached by you. I wondered how long it would take one of you to actually begin to defend the bill.

"Political speech, in this bill, is curtailed in a certain period of time."

Well well well... by your own use of the word "curtail," which is synonymous with "abridge," - the very word used in the constitution as in "shall not be abridged" - you've actually come closer to making my point than I did.

No speech has been outlawed.

No, it's just been "curtailed." I get it.

"A certain period of time!?" Okay, you're free to write about candidates after we've ensured that it won't make any difference.

How about we forbid Congress from passing any legislation during those same time periods?
