The Democratic Party Makes War On Free Speech

The Democratic Party Makes War On Free Speech | Power Line:
"The proposed amendment is astonishingly radical.
It would allow Congress to ban any spending on federal elections, which means that a challenger could beat an incumbent in only the most extraordinary circumstances. (Campaign finance regulation has always been mostly about incumbent protection.)
Or Congress could ban all contributions or independent spending by individuals or corporations in excess of, say, $10, while allowing unlimited expenditures by unions. 
This would guarantee that if the Congress is once controlled by Democrats, the Republicans could never win it back.
If candidates and their supporters can’t spend money to get their messages out, that means that voters will learn about candidates only through the prism of the press. 
Since the press is almost 100% controlled by the Democratic Party, Harry Reid and his fellow donkeys would like that just fine."
