It’s kinda hokey to call money “speech,” but you can never run a “press” without money. Ask JimRob about that. Anyone who is limited in their right to spend their own money to propagate their own ideas does not have freedom of the press. Therefore campaign finance regulation is flatly unconstitutional, root and branch.

I was disappointed when Dinesh D’Souza copped a plea for that reason - the law he violated is bogus and SCOTUS, with O’Connor replaced by Alito on the bench, presumably would have so ruled.

I’m pro-Tea Party because I’m pro-constitution. And Irrespective of whose ox is putatively being gored in the process I reject the idea of complaining about an illegitimate law being made less egregious.
And so we introduce the grassroots conservative “Free Republic PAC!” In the very least, we should be able to influence some congressional elections.

Expect my support, in addition to my usual start-of-the-freepathon check.

I think McCain-Feingold is unconstitutional but i don’t see how it helps anyone but democrats to keep the government funded for a whole year. it simply nuters the congress we just elected. Robing us of the power we just voted for.
