Take A Moment And Consider This Passage Regarding The SCOTUS AZ Campaign Finance Ruling

[WillyT]

Roberts said this type of public financing — called "fair fight" money, or funds "triggered" by other spending, or funds meant to "level the playing field" — unfairly burdens the free-speech rights of the other candidates or groups, because it balances out their political spending.

IOW - Balances out the Free Speech between opponents. For Equal Access.

1. too liberal for the righties no doubt

2. Sounds familiar.

Bush v. Gore was decided on the idea that actually going through the trouble of counting Florida's votes would deny Bush his Equal Protection rights under the 14th Amendment. As if those same rights didn't apply equally to Mr. Gore, the citizens of Florida and the nation as a whole.

:wtf: indeed.

4. I can't wrap my head around this.

"...unfairly burdens the free-speech rights of the other candidates or groups, because it balances out their political spending." Isn't that what we want? Balanced political spending?

I know what it says. I know what it means. But how is this not Treason, as it aids the takeover by the fascists with the money over the citizen without access such resources?

"In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavour."
