re: #147 Aceofwhat?

good quote. that’s the part where they take “spending” and try to make it sound like “speech”. this is not a question of what folks can spend. It’s a question of whether they can say something. years of campaign spending law have not been overturned.

“Congress violates the First Amendment when it decrees that some speakers may not engage in political speech at election time, when it matters most.”

bingo

what else?

I’m confused. Speech equals spending. That is exactly what Roberts et all find in their ruling. Corporations have the right to free speech, and money is speech. Therefore corporations have the right to free spending.
