Liberals for Free Speech (Not)

Two years ago I was go to a concert with a dear liberal friend of mine when I heard about the Kelo Supreme Court decision on the radio.

After I went into a complete tirade about how ridiculous it is for the state to confiscate private property for private development, she simply commented, "Well that's those big business conservatives on the court you love so much".

Except all those big business conservatives ruled for Suzanne Kelo (Scalia, Thomas, Rehnquist and O'Conner) and the so called "champion of the little guys" liberals (Kennedy, Souter, Ginsberg, Stevens & Breyer) who ruled for the city.

Fast forward two years with the ruling on the McCain- Feingold law; a conversation with my friend would probably yield this comment, "Obviously, the free speech liberal judges overturned McCain Feingold"; except that would be wrong. Justices ruling against McCain Feingold (Alito, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy and Scalia) and for (Ginsberg, Souter, Stevens & Breyer)

McCain Feingold might be the worst piece of legislation ever written. It's an obvious infringement on the first amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech,...

How this wasn't a 9-0 vote is a travesty in justice. Just who is ruling strictly on their political agenda?

When will the average grass roots liberal finally come to terms with the fact that liberal ideology is all about big government and central control over individual liberty and free speech?

It all comes back to my belief that all Supreme Court decisions have a tag on the bottom of all rulings....

Brought to you by the same clowns that brought you "Separate but Equal".
