Uwe,

You are the one saying this all Sunshine & Lollipops. I put Two (among Dozens) examples out for consideration to refute your naked assertion(s) and you just blow them off. Fact is, the Sunshine & Lollipops you've been promoting don't exist in the real world; they only exist in the minds of Legal Masturbators; Like Scalia.

I Promise, I'm Not Opening This Thread Again.

The right to free speech was never intended to guarantee balance in the marketplace of ideas. The confusion comes about when one wrongly equates the right to speak with the right to be heard.

I have not said this is all "Sunshine & Lollipops". There are definitely problems with the political and election process, but I don't think that ignoring the plain language of the constitution is an acceptable way to address those problems. Hence I have to conclude that in this case (unlike Kelo) the SCOTUS made the right decision.

Can we confine their free speech just like thousands have been during civil protests? Should we show at corporations in armor and head gear ready for fight when they broadcast something we don't like? LOL....

Things are much clearer now...this says it all.
