Re: Not a joke: Democrats to try to limit free speech by amending the Constitution
I'm as libertarian as you are, and this sends chills down my spine.
We've known for a while that democrats want to strip away personal freedoms. This is just the most openly they've gone about it. No, there is no chance of this amendment passing, but the fact they even bring it up shows just how far they are willing to go to force their ideas on everybody else."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar.

Just Osama Bin Laden's when they killed him and your guy odered the
hit. He finally did something good.
And don't forget your Nazi Pelosi's attack on the 1st amendment.
All this was called out in advance.

No, not really. If you'll look up the Patriot Act, what it does at the core is gives law enforcement broader surveillance capabilities. That much isn't in doubt. However, they still must obtain a search warrant. Title V of the Patriot Act does allow and strengthen NSLs (National Security Letters). If a person is already under investigation, then a warrant does not need to be obtained under Title V.
The Constitution of the United States of America was not affected in anyway by the Patriot Act. No freedoms were taken."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

I'd think Libertarians would expect their law makers to follow the letter of the Constitution and not rely on the courts.
Since this isn't a free speech issue (in spite of the dogma from the GOP declaring it such) and more of campaign finance limits, I'd assume Libertarians like me are fine that lawmakers are at least following the Constitution and attempting (though it's a fools errand) to use the amendment process and not judicial fiat.

Re: Not a joke: Democrats to try to limit free speech by amending the Constitution
Maybe, maybe not. In the smaller state and local elections I think it most definitely matters and makes a difference. But the larger National elections (i.e. President)...IDK. Regardless, it does give the perception of something shady going on. I don't like that corporations give so much money to a politician, that politician in turn passes favorable legislation for that company, and when they leave office becomes an executive in that company. It's a process that has been going on for decades for both the GOP and Democrats. How and when is our voice going to be heard in that circle? It needs to change.
