judiciary

Hooray for the Supreme Court.  Yes, believe it or not, they actually do deserve some praise.  Specifically the members of the majority who recently held that Vermont’s restrictive campaign finance laws violated the First Amendment’s free speech provisions.

This development comes at an opportune time in our political history.  Currently, our free speech rights are besieged by politicians using the boogeyman of political corruption to build support for laws which themselves corrupt our political system by limiting our ability to participate in it.
