Free Speech Saved


From left to right: sometimes good, excellent, terrible, almost as bad, SUPERSTAR, disappointment, would be a GREAT president for life, ugh!, conservative hero

A major decision today from the Supreme Court defended the First Amendment from oppressive (and unconstitutional) campaign finance laws.

"When government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves." Justice Anthony Kennedy

How ironic, the Supreme Court, with its 5-4 conservative majority, has become the last holdout of sane thinking in the federal government. It's another reminder of why Americans should be grateful to George W. Bush.
