"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.

But you see, that is the first correct thing you've said all day, however, because a bill is in contravention to the Constitution, does not mean that it is being blown to bits.

Many bad bills get passed, and even the USSC gets one wrong now and then, but in the End, the Constitution still stands. Hysteria. Now go have some Jim Crow pie and think it over.
