NY Times says there was a "discussion of book banning" before SCOTUS in the Hillary Movie case. Sounds to me like the Obama Admin. has asserted a right to political book banning:

"At the first Supreme Court argument in March, a government lawyer, answering a hypothetical question, said the government could also make it a crime to distribute books advocating the election or defeat of political candidates so long as they were paid for by corporations and not their political action committees.

"That position seemed to astound several of the more conservative justices, and there were gasps in the courtroom.

'“That’s pretty incredible,” said Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.

"The discussion of book banning may have helped prompt the request for re-argument."

Farhrenheit 9-11 was a political ad to get Boosh out of office. After making the case against Bush’s presidency, it ends with the slogan “DO SOMETHING!”

The FEC is a joke. They also let Obama get illegal foreign funds in 2008.

Now all they need to do is change the definition of corporation and the government can ban the 1st amendment and control the media.
