The “charge” for speech comes from the media that the politicians need to hire to make their speech heard. We’ve had a lot of good contenders who really were simply never able to afford enough publicity. And one of the reasons is that people were afraid to donate to them for fear of exceeding these “limits.”
Well, let’s say GOP donors were afraid. The Dems were never worried, since most of their donations come under the table or through various backchannels anyway and are never accounted for. That still won’t change, but at least now there’s a possibility for more money to flow into GOP or conservative campaigns.
sweet!
now if Ginsberg will simply hang on until January 2016 then promptly keel over, we can get Cruz, Palin, or Paul to appoint her replacement and can really start taking back our country!
Good points (#56, #59). Thanks. I count this SCOTUS decision as positive if only because it drives liberals batty.
