Supreme Court overturns Vermont campaign limits

The U. S. Supreme Court today struck down a Vermont law limiting campaign contributions, saying it infringed upon candidates' free speech rights by limiting the campaign they could do.
Let's hear the conservatives talk about those activist judges now.
What this decision, and the decision made by Governor Blunt and the Missouri General Assembly made with the state's new campaign finance law is to make sure that if you're a special interest and you have big bucks, your free speech means more than that of the average citizen.
