I suppose it’s a victory that the Supreme Court has ruled that private citizens be “allowed” to criticize politicians in advertisements we pay for ourselves.

But why is the decision only 5-4, and not unanimous? (I ask rhetorically.)

The free speech clause in the first amendment is only there to protect porn, and vulgarity. It does not cover political speech at all. And it particularly disallows any speech that might be construed as too judgmental of porn or vulgarity.

There, you see. This is why left wing talk radio doesn't work. Their philosophy can not withstand an accurate portrayal of itself.

Finance reform’s deadly legacy of shredding the First Amendment continues:

“grassroots organizations still cannot urge citizens directly to vote for or against a candidate on television or radio.”
