another free speech editorial

Sullivan's lawsuit alleged that he had been libeled by the advertisement's criticism of his supervision of the Montgomery Police Department. An Alabama jury agreed with him and awarded damages of $500,000, the full amount Sullivan sought.

Nearly four years later, a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court reversed the jury's verdict, concluding that the "offending" editorial issue advertisement was fully protected by the First Amendment guarantees of free speech and a free press.

Once enjoying universal support, "campaign finance reform" will crash and burn
when it reaches the Supreme Court.
:cool:

There won't be any reform in campaign finance until they uncover all the CEOnistas running around. Crooked business makes for crooked politics.

Too bad most Big Business end up being crooked in the end eh.
