*The Supreme Court has finally overturned the most odious portions of McCain-Feingold, ruling that corporate entities have the same free speech protections as individuals. Just to give you a taste of how obnoxiously unconstitutional this bill was, the Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart actually argued that the government had the right to “prohibit the publication” of any book that took sides in political races.  Just to reiterate, the government argued to deny the publication of any book deemed out of bounds.  Scary stuff, and past time that it was defeated.

And really, any court decision that has the New York Times, the President, Ralph Nader, Chuck Shumer, and Keith Olbermann in such a tizzy has my wholehearted support.

“To those for whom MoveOn.org and the countless left-wing 527 operations are the forces of truth and justice, and corporations the font of rich evil men of the 1930’s plutocratic cartoons, this case is a disaster for the commonweal.

But for those of us who think free speech is inviolate, and more important in the context of elections than it is in flag burnings or obscenity cases, this decision is a long overdue righting of a preposterous error of legislative judgment.”

“Citizens United, a conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofit that has funded a dozen political documentaries over the years, produced a critical documentary about Hillary Clinton in 2008 entitled “Hillary: The Movie.” By a decision of the federal government, which was enforcing the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (known more broadly as McCain-Feingold), this piece of political speech was banned from television.

Let’s boil it down to the essential words: Political documentary, banned, government.”
