Citizens United antagonists: “Free speech for me, but not for thee”

Since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which lifted the unconstitutional ban on independent political expenditures by corporations and unions, The New York Times and other liberal media outlets have had their editorial knickers in a twist. Outrage verging on hysteria emerges from their constant stream of editorials on the topic. Yet every time the Times criticizes the Supreme Court for striking down the restrictive federal censorship law, the Gray Lady reveals that its real concern is not “the potential for corruption” as it claimed in a Feb. 24 editorial, but the ability of those with whom it disagrees to speak out.  Full opinion at Human Events, link.

New York Post: “The make-believe tyranny of photo ID”

Before his next speech, Holder should bone up on the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in 2008 upholding Indiana’s voter-ID law. The liberal Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the majority opinion. The court held that “there is no question about the legitimacy or importance of the state’s interest in counting only the votes of eligible voters,” and “we cannot conclude that the statute imposes ‘excessively burdensome requirements’ on any class of voters.”  

.. Not that any of this matters to Attorney General Holder. Just as the administration is manufacturing a “war on women,” he wants to manufacture a “war on voting rights.” It is the same MO of fevered rhetoric and distortions in the service of the same end of motivating key voting blocs. Holder’s tenure as the government’s top lawyer is an ongoing disgrace.

Sizzler Video: Dead People and Clones Get Ballots in VT

Here we go.  A NEW video from Vermont by James O’Keefe showing the need for Voter ID in Vermont. “Historically, that defense doesn’t do so well.” 

“They you must not want to drink badly enough.”

Notice that Photo ID is required to get married, another constitutional right.  Even the District of Columbia requires photo ID to get married, a constitutional right.
