re: #57 Killgore Trout

On the substance of Thomas’ stupid argument, the whole point of protected speech is to be public. If donations are to be regarded as speech, then they should at least be public.

On the other hand, I could perhaps live with private donations if all pretense that such donations are speech within the meaning of the first amendment are dropped, and stringent donation limits are put into place.

As always, tools like Thomas want to have it both ways.
