I at least give them a little credit for knowing that the constitution has to be amended for them to get what they want.
What they are trying to do simply cannot be enforced without a tyranny, where the government gets to pick and choose who is allowed to speak and who is not.
All over Europe they have recently been trying to have one or two days of campaign blackout before a vote. But even there, the news reporters are still allowed to discuss current events, they're just not allowed to talk about the candidates, and the candidates are not allowed to talk. most people agree that this would not hold together if there ever happened to be some sort of big news event right as the election was starting, something that the public would want the candidates to react to.
Guys like Schumer are smart enough to know this. They are either pandering, or they really do want their heirs to be able make political enemies shut up.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
