Quote:If Congress attempted to do anything of the sort, and there wasn't an immediate uprising, then the country is already lost.

 

If Congress attempted to pass any sort of law that put limits on speech, particularly political speech and how and where money is raised, there's an ulterior motive involved.  That's always the case, and in this instance, the backlash SHOULD be swift and severe. The laws currently on the books to control levels and origins of political money are good enough as is. 

 

The way it stands currently, certain campaigns with family foundations, and other campaigns who dragged their feet on announcing officially in order to raise as much PAC money as possible are already skirting existing laws and gaming the system.  That's fine.  Neither campaign will wind up winning when the dust settles.  The system has a way of working things out.
