This is not a partisan issue. It is a freedom issue. This ruling muzzles all Americans except those individuals wealthy enough to buy broadcast time. And even they have to be careful as there are provisions of this thing that put restrictions on them as well.

The point is that now our rulers have stated openly that the law of the land is what THEY say it is. It is no longer measured by the plain language of the Constitution
but by the opinions, whims and current political fads held by the people who rule this nation. The partisan bitterness that infects both left and right will only intensify as both sides see that power now means they can impose whatever they want unfettered by any restrictions save those of self-interest.

This is not the start of a trip down the *slippery slope*. We are getting awfully close to the bottom of that slope. More and more people are going to come to realize this as over time they find themselves on the receiving end of repressive laws and regulations. Those who, at the moment, are happy because this ruling suits them fine should stop and consider that now all it takes to reverse all they hold dear is a change in personnel. And that change will inevitably occur.

It has been that way for a long time now. These bastards are just getting bolder and more arrogant. And the new royalty will continue to encroach on the peoples' "inalienable" rights until the people push back - it usually happens periodically by bloody revolution, in a sudden and violent upheaval, when the oppression becomes obvious and painful. We are about one economic disaster away from that...

However, an additional strategy used by the elite is the dumbing down of the sheeple. It seems about 1 in 10 can name the VP of the US - what proportion of the population might know that their rights are being trashed by the political bosses? 1 of 100? Not enough to man the resistance.

Howcome the $hits stopped at 60 days, why not 180 or 360? Maybe next year, eh? These hidious turds agree that "pseudo" child porn is protected by the Constitution, but political speach is not. What corrupt, soulless creeps they are.
