Scalia’s Discent in the BCRA Case
Friday, 12 December 2003 by Jacob TomawI just finished reading this. The ban of political speech is a very important issue. However, it takes a special kind of nerd to read this kind of document, so I will not recommend it for everyone. I will post a quote:
The premise of the First Amendment is that the American people are neither sheep nor fools, and hence fully capable of considering both the substance of the speech presented to them and its proximate and ultimate source. If that premise is wrong, our democracy has a much greater problem to overcome than merely the influence of amassed wealth. Given the premises of democracy, there is no such thing as too much speech.
