ambivalent comment

I know I shouldn't but I just can't help it: Limiting campaign contributions or campaign spending does not entail “minimizing Free Speech Rights.” Dollars are not speech, and speech is not free if you have to pay for it. Something like the “death tax,” the “right to life,” and other names or phrases those on the right of the political spectrum have invented to advance their objectives, this supposed association between money and speech is simply a rhetorical move to ensure that the side w/the most money always wins. While that may be what capitalism is about, it's not what democracy is about.
