I thought right wingers were against judges legislating from the bench. The right wing radio nuts are hailing this as good law. Oh my how the right flip flop.
It is about making up laws such as abortion. It is all about the constitution. It is not legislation from the bench if they threw out Roe-vs-wade. All I know about what the Supreme Court did was throw out most of Mccain-Feingold campain/finance... which was unconstitutional.

That's the point the law was in affect yet no book's were ever banned!!!

You address what you think was a lack of comprehension skills on my part yet you fail to address the real issue. Foreign Governments allowed to contribute unlimited amounts of money to influence an election if the own a co in the US. All a foreign country would have to do to contribute is buy a small chain of some sort.

Here is a fact for you if Obama had a back bone he would just appoint one more liberal justice to stop the right wing justices. Now before you all make a foolish post check the Law. Because there is president for it he can appoint two more but he doesn't have the nerve.

When asked what congress could do he replied he didn't know of any thing other that amending the first amendment.This man is no liberal he was G. Bushes lawyer in 2000

Who care who this guy is. You started a topic by stating that SCOTUS reversed a 102 year old law ... simply NOT TRUE.

Corporate political ads in 1908, are you serious?

SCOTUS ruled against and overturned an unconstitutional portion of the McCain-Feingold bill from 2002 ... a mere 8 years ago.

Mr. Ginsberg, regardless of who he's worked with, is an idiot if he thinks the First Amendment needs amending. Your posted bio of his also states he doesn't represent Republicans exclusively. In fact, it doesn't say which party he's registered with. Whoever gives him money and a message is who he represents.

Changing the First Amendment is NOT a Republican idea.

I don't think the American people will allow much more of Obama'a radical reaches, he's already in deep doo doo. A rabbit out of the hat to completely liberalize the supreme court isn't going to happen.

A typo that I did not catch until someone else had re-posted it , so why change it. You got a laugh out of it. It gave you license to do your thing, to be-little.You care little for the subject as long as you can find something wrong so you can direct the subject the way you want it.

Just as all of the other posters on the AFF who post in the political section, you refuse to discuss the subject that FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS who can now spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections.

It is no longer "By the People, for the People" but it's now "By the Corporation for the Corporation!!! This was not done by Obama but 5 right wing republicans.

BTW I never said it was a republican idea to change the first Amendment, I said Mr Ginsberg who happens to be a Repugnant suggested it.

It would be a good thing if the first amendment was changed, MONEY IS NOT SPEECH

Light are you intentionally ignoring the many many reports of how much foreign money was contributed to Obama's election (gifts which he refused to list publicly) or are you going to be ..... destroyed for lack of knowledge?

Your posts remind me of this guy just getting nowhere!

Did I read this right? You complaining about me "be-littling?" You, who call Republicans "repugnants;" who takes any and every opportunity to point out failures - esp moral failures - of conservatives; who continually spews vomit and venom against "right wing wackos" .... you upset about "be-littling."



You conveniently ignore BHO's foreign donors and also ignore the Clinton's foreign donors from Hsu and another man.
