Actually, I think that the failure in the US to properly regulate campaign finance (and indeed the financing of any political speech) is one of the biggest impediments to “freedom of speech” that there is.

Basically, what it amounts to is that people with more money get to hold the microphone for longer than those with less. And if you have no money, you don’t get to speak at all.

Hmmm… I think the Supreme Court recently made some really big decisions lately in SUPPORTING of our campaign financing methods. But let’s not have the Supreme Court get in the way.. huh?
