From the article:
“Olson is defending a group whose 90-minute movie attacked
Hillary Rodham Clinton during her presidential campaign last
year. Federal courts said the movie looked and sounded like
a long campaign ad and therefore should be regulated like one.”

I am listening right now to the oral arguments on campaign finance on CSpan. Sotomayor is acting like the fool she is

Elena Kagen is being taught a history lesson by Scalia and Kennedy.

The funny thing is, when McCain-Fingold was first upheld, all the DUmmies were puzzled as to why it was the libtards on the Supreme Court who were against free speech.

Elena Kagen is not answering the questions the Justices are asking which is typical. She is trying to bs and bully her way through.

I’m surprised why she didn’t ask why there were no wise latinas arguing this case in front of the court. Missing any makes the case much more difficult to decide.

Yes, and the everything the libtards do revolves around campaign even illegal funding.

Not really. Liberals are only zealot defenders of free speech when it is anti-American or obscene.

It’s obvious why the Democrats love McCain-Feingold. Because the rules only apply to Republicans, and to conservative organizations.

I didn’t know that “wise latina” could assemble complete sentences.

This was funny — I read this while I was watching “Leverage” on TNT, and at almost the same time I read your comment, the lead character, having just addressed a female latina judge, turned and said “I love a wise latina woman”..
