Re: Senate Judiciary voting to amend Bill of Right
Text of the proposed amendment: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c113:S.J.RES.19:
The objection is this: Campaign contributions are a part of free speech, as an expression of support or opinion, and limiting contributions is limiting free speech.
FYI, the ACLU also opposes the amendment. [ Source]
