Max Baucus, our illustrious Senior Senator, is proposing a Constitutional Amendment. His amendment is in response to the Citizens United Supreme Court Ruling. The recent change of heart by the left amuses me. For years, the left has defended the Court. Praising their all knowing power, they were the end all solution. Now that the shoes on the other foot, it’s hard for them to understand.
The left has never seen money as free speech. The Supreme Court from Buckley (v. Valeo) to Colorado Republican Federal Campaign Committee (v. FEC) and now with the Citizens’ United. The left just cannot accept the Supreme Court’s opinion in this area.
The AP in the Gazette Article said, “The proposal is an obvious long shot…” It will take 2/3rds of both chambers of Congress, and 3/4th of the State Legislatures (and no Governor Vetoes) to pass such an amendment.
“The Disclosure Act” failed to break a Senate Filibuster. Chuck Schumer is promising to hold cloture votes until this passes.
A long line of democrats defended the bill. Franken compared it to Financial Reform, and Wyden thinks it should be passed before the fall midterms.
Republican Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, said it was a blatant attempt “to rig an election.”
This all comes from someone making a movie about Hillary Clinton. Only this group was attacked. Seniore Fat-So, er… Michael Moore… makes many political movies. Will he too be censored? He makes a lot of money on those movies, and they go to political causes. After a large cut is taken for Moore’s excessive daily eating.
Long story short, Baucus won’t get his Constitutional Amendment. If you don’t like the Supreme Court take that up with Marbury and Madison or John Marshall.
