Senate Republican Leader: Obama seeking to change First Amendment ‘an act of radicalism’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that President Barack
Obama is seeking to change the First Amendment to keep corporate money
out of political campaigns.

“Democrats in the House and Senate recently proposed the so-called,
‘People’s Rights Amendment’ which basically repeals the First Amendment
and just this week, citing Citizens United, the president’s top
political adviser — this is not some back-bench member of the House of
Representatives — the president’s top political adviser, David Axelrod,
told an audience in Manhattan that, quote, ‘When we win, we will use
whatever tools are out there, including a constitutional amendment, to
turn it back,’” McConnell said in a speech at the American Enterprise
Institute on Friday.  This, my friends, is all you need to know about this
administration’s view of free speech. The courts have said that Congress
doesn’t have the authority to muzzle political speech. So the president
himself will seek to go around it by attempting to change the First
Amendment. Amending the First Amendment for the first time in history is
an act of radicalism — an act of radicalism.”
