| #3 If Udall is for it, I'm almost certainly against it. The most important speech that the 1st Amendment protects is political speech. Only in a Lefty world would exotic dancers get full constitutional protection and citizens weighing in on public policy be gagged. |

| #2 I suspect the 'state government' clause is to make it easier to get states to ratify it - kind of a bribe to the ruling party that they can then regulate their opponents speech during an election. And don't assume ratification is 'impossible' - the same states ratified the 17th amendment basically surrendering up their representation in the federal government. |

| #1 This resolution would add a 28th Amendment, stating that Congress can regulate contributions and spending in federal elections. It would also give state governments the same authority in statewide contests. Yeah 'cuz that couldn't be used for evil powers. The reason there is so much money in politics is because there is so much power to buy. |
