Quote:"Requiring" anything related to political speech is abridgement. The Constitution was very specific about our rights and I'm shocked at how many so willingly and easily give them up because they don't like what other people do with theirs.

 

I don't see anyone willing to give anything up here? I'm all for defending rights, by all means but explain this a little more to me cause I'm not seeing it. Are you arguing any restriction on speech is violation of the constitution? Or are you arguing conditions on speech is a violation of the constitution? Because there's several examples of limits on speech, but that's not even the case here. From what I've read they're simply requiring disclosure on sponsors of political adds, that's not even a restriction it's a disclosure clause which has been par the course for a long time. Now if they're saying for example channel 12 has to show a Democrat sponsored add for every Republican sponsored add then that's different but that's not what the article is talking about.
