re: #293 Aceofwhat?

You continue to fail to make a distinction between whether i think that there is a problem and whether i think that the only solution is to trample on my rights.

i think that there is an immigration problem. let’s just round up all of the brown people.

see? all of a sudden a potentially effective solution seems unpalatable, and we wonder what kind of idiot would write such a law.

unpalatable laws are not justified by the purity of their intentions, no matter how much you want to make yourself believe that i just don’t “get it”.

The thing is, your rights were never threatened. You were always free to spend as much of your own money as you want on political speech. Go nuts. Buy billboards, radio ads. Set up your own websites, newspapers, and so on. There is no limit, and never has been, for individuals.

You continue to pretend there literally is no difference between a limited liability corporation and an individual, and that more than half a century of election law was somehow a grevious violation of your rights.

Your rights were never even momentarily threatened.
