Free Speech?

There's something about that First Amendment to the Constitution. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion. There are quite a lot of goodies tucked into that little amendment.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. I think its pretty clear that the founders of our country felt strongly against making laws restricting speech. Political speech is now subject to a myriad of laws restricting it, in the form of Campaign Finance regulations. To me, political speech is the most important form of speech and should be protected from the reach of congress. Here is an example of silencing political speech. The judges in this case found that the anti-Clinton film was a form of political advertising and thus subject to campaign finance laws which limit its use. I'm personally not into political movies like this, but to restrict it on the basis of it being political advertising is just ridiculous. Is this blog advertising? When will the madness end?
