Pelosi: Amend the First Amendment


(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday endorsed a movement announced by other congressional Democrats on Wednesday to ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow Congress to regulate political speech when it is engaged in by corporations as opposed to individuals.

The First Amendment says in part: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."

When the court ruled against the Obama administration's position in this case, Chief Justice Roberts wrote a concurring opinion underscoring the fact that the administration had wanted the court to allow the government to prohibit political speech.

"The government urges us in this case to uphold a direct prohibition on political speech," wrote Roberts. "It asks us to embrace a theory of the First Amendment that would allow censorship not only of television and radio broadcasts, but of pamphlets, posters, the Internet, and virtually any other medium that corporations and unions might find useful in expressing their views on matters of public concerns."

Not being a Constitutional Scholar, just a redneck with a high school education, I always thought the first and 2nd. Amendment were First and 2nd. because they are the most important of them all to a country of free people.

Now we have these career crooks like Pelosi who want to change them.
Now far be it from me to guess why Pelosi wants it changed, but I would bet the farm that she believes it would benefit her Democrat party.
Party is all this goofy Calipornia apostate woman believes in.
