47:00 The problem with this concept is that while one corporation may demand support for an issue, another corporation will demand that issue be unsupported. If you dont remove BCRA, then the FEC makes the decisions on which corporation gets a pass. "Ambition must be set against ambition". This is the key to maintaining freedom from tyranny in a world of factions. Setting up an entrenched bureaucracy to pick the winners guarantees the corruption and tyranny you claim to be fighting against.

41:30 The difference is that conservative judges strike down laws that ACTUALLY disagree with the constitution.

I've read the history of this case and we discuss it in my American History class often. My students virtually unanimously hated the decision, but all it took was 45 minutes of explaing the FACTS to make them realize what a horrific danger a law that allowed a book to be banned for ANY REASON would be. There were 4 or 5 who could not be persuaded, because their brains were using emotion rather than the law. That is the problem with the Left. We deal in FACTS, the Left deals in EMOTION. Cars.

Until radio, tv, newspaper, etc. ads are FREE, than of course money is speech! The government has no business meddling in the affairs of people, groups of people, corporations, unions, or anyone else at all when it comes to they wish to support for public office. You may not like the ruling, but we do not make Constitutional decisions based on opinion polls. Cars.

The second speaker, the one who doesn't look like a troll, is a man who is clearly qualified to sit on the Federal Bench. Not the SCOTUS, but certainly the Federal Bench. He is articulate, even tempered, conservative without being radical, had a great sense of humor like Chief Justice Roberts, and does a great job keeping his points pithy. If he were to get a job in the next GOP Administration, I would be shocked if he were not nominated to a Federal District or Federal Appeals Court. Cars.

And, while I am not ready to make a prediction, there is a very very very strong possibility that indivual contribution limits will also be ruled Unconstitutional. It may not throw out ALL restrictions, but I will be shocked if some of the remaining anti-free speech laws will be severely damaged. Thank God. Again, it is Unconstitutional facially for Congress or a state to abridge fee speech, ESPECIALLY POLITICAL SPEECH.

I tell my students if they have a quandry about exactly what the Constitution means, they need to read the Federalist Papers, which were written SPECIFICALLY to explain even to not very bright 4 year olds what the Constitution means. Two points. James Madison "The greatest defense against a tyranical Federal Gvmt. is a heavily armed citizenry", and Thomas Jefferson, "The single most important speech in America is POLITICAL SPEECH, AND IT MUST NEVER BE INFRINGED UPONin any possible way."
