Hillary Wants to Make It Illegal to Criticize Her
« on: May 01, 2016, 01:11:11 am »
In an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN yesterday, Hillary Clinton had this to say about the Citizens United decision:

    I really respect the important point of getting money out of politics. Remember, Citizens United was an attack on me, so I take it very personally and even before Senator Sanders got into the campaign way back in April of last year, I said we are going to reverse Citizens United and if we can’t get the Supreme Court to do what I think would be the right decision, then I will lead a constitutional amendment [sic].

Hillary was right, Citizens United involved a movie that was critical of her. The Supreme Court held that the federal government couldn’t constitutionally bar the movie from being shown, regardless of whether an election campaign was in progress. If Citizens United is overturned, as Hillary wants, it would mean that the federal government can make it illegal to criticize Mrs. Clinton (or any other politician) in a movie, book, pamphlet, etc.

It is easy to understand why Hillary and certain other politicians would want such a radical evisceration of the First Amendment, but why would anyone else?

Exactly what I was thinking.  Dictators that think alike.

There is no equivalence between Donald and Killery.

And there never will be.  Equivalence is the facade that Marxists hide behind.
It is often repeated and it is always boring.

Try to make up something useful or at least interesting versus the Marxist campaign
talking points.

They are two sides of the same coin IMHO!  No difference what-so-ever!

This is about Clinton wanting to pass legislation to overturn the Supreme courtruling on Citizen's United.  Not about passing laws imprisoning any speach unfavorable to her.

The title is very deceptive.

Why are you bringing Sanders in on this with your 'Marxist' talk?
