But it’s okay. It’s only political speech he wants to see limited, which we know wasn’t very important to the founders and framers.
On the plus side, the ol’ <strike>”Constitutional Law Professor”</strike> part-time lecturer on racial grievance and political opportunism seems to have remembered that an Amendment is required, at least on something like this, where a dictate from the Executive isn’t likely to get his political opponents to stop spending money trying to affect his ouster.
So maybe he really is capable of learning.

…
Yeah, me neither.
Jeff,
I say we take him up on the offer and convene a Constitutional Convention.
Of course the proposed amendment might look more like an amendment to limit the speech of anyone attempting to overturn the U.S. Constitution.
I’ll call it the STSTFU* amendment.
Shut the Socialist the F* up;)
Gee, let’s take a look in the wayback machine and see what happened to the last proposed constitutional amendment…
After much moaning and wailing at the bar, it dropped dead, finally, from old age, unratified.
What time is John McCain scheduled to announce that making a statement proposing such an assault on a fundamental freedom is “unacceptable?”
Bueller? Bueller?
I’m in favor of a Contitutional Convention.
Rather than enforce new limits on our power to petition the government for the redress of our grievances, how ’bout we enforce the old limits on the government’s power to aggrieve us in the first place?
Yeah, yeah, I know. Crazy talk!
The government only aggrieves you for your own good. They know better than you do. And if you’d just shut up and listen to your better, who know what’s best for you and just want to help, you’d understand that. But because you won’t shut up, the government is going to shut you up and make you listen.
Says the CNS writer, Matt Cover: “. . . the landmark Citizens United v FEC case that granted First Amendment rights to corporations.”
“. . . that granted . . . rights . . . “?
This strikes me as very poor expression. Wouldn’t it be better to say “that recognized [as already present]” or “that acceded to [a preexisting condition etc.]”?
“that re established
grantedFirst Amendment rights to corporations.”?Now sdferr you do know that all rights are granted by government now don’t you? Our very own
”Constitutional Law Professor”SCOAMF has said so repeatedly.– Ok then. We’re back to the RNC equivalent of “As the world snoozes” until Rubio/Eastwood/Romney.
There is NFL preseason games on also, BBH. The Titans finally scored a TD over the hapless Saints.
INCONSIDERATE RAAAAACISTS! Don’t they realize New Orleans just got rained on??
– Tonights partial schedule:
* Clint Eastwood at 9:55pm (ET)
* Marco Rubio at 10:04pm (ET)
* Mitt Romney at at 10:25pm (ET)

Pentagon may take legal action against SEAL author
I’d be more than a little happy if Clint Eastwood wore BHO like an old shoe. Then introduced Rush Limbaugh, to really get the party started.
– Do they plan on taking action against Obama and his WH staff as well?
I kind of liked the touching personal stories.
Of course, Romney is only a nice guy because he’s an evil super-genius.
– I’m really going to enjoy watching the Libturds running all over the place like a bunch of trained hansters, trying to keep all the dishes spinning on the poles.
– At some point the bastard media may get the idea that Obama is toast, and if that happens, he will be.
I was going to blow off the DNC, but now I think I might watch it for the laughs.
– Quick MSNBC, ABC, CBS, theres a minority on – For gods sake go to a commercial!
O’Reilly had a funny line earlier, asking what they’ll drop from the ceiling after Sandra Fluke speaks.
– Oh,oh,oh…..I know that one….An inflated condom drop! (payed for by Medicare)
I’d be content if Eastwood led a recital if of Obama’s tresspasses against the American dream, followed by Get off of my lawn! for six minutes.
You tell us that the rich aren’t paying their fare share when the 1% pay 20% (or whatever it is) of our taxes? Get off of my lawn!
You tell us fairness requires that we change the rules so that hard work can be rewarded while presiding over the largest increase in the welfare rolls ever? Get off of my lawn!
I wouldn’t miss the DNC fest for the WOLRD! Who wouldn’t appreciate watching a collection of speaking Giant Vaginas?
I think I heard somewhere today that the 1% Rich™ earn some 17% of the total earned revenues and pay 33% of the total tax stream.
You’re EPA does everything it can to block the development and use of domestic energy resources while you use tax payermoney to fund your donors’ so-call “green” energy boondoggles? Get off of my lawn!
That’s right, serr8d.
I got into a discussion with a guy at the grocery store today. We were talking about the flat tax (both of us agreed on that) when out of the blue he starts in on Romney’s tax returns.
Who cares? What are we going to find out? He’s a rich guy?
Well, knock me over with a moving van.

Favorite commentor on that article: The socialist who KNOWS Obabo is actually to the right of everyone on the left because she’s a socialist and he took money from corporations and can’t possibly conceive of how a limitation on corporate speech could be abused to silence, well, anyone.
I had to log in just to give her a long, slow clap.
