President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

You guys are funny. Claiming Trump is "shitting on the First Amendment" because he sent a cease and desist letter, or because he mocks the #FakeNews put out by the media.

Hillary Clinton literally wanted to nominate a SCOTUS Justice who would reverse a First Amendment ruling she didn't like, because someone made a movie about her that she didn't like.

And, the Obama Justice Department argued, in a losing cause, that the government should be able to ban books.

Hillary Clinton endorsed a constitutional amendment today to reverse the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. FEC. Clinton said that the Citizens United ruling should be reversed “once and for all, even if it takes a constitutional amendment,” according to MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

In Citizens United, the Court ruled that the First Amendment protects unlimited independent political expenditures by nonprofit groups. The case famously arose when Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit corporation that produces documentaries, made a movie attacking Clinton and released advertisements promoting the movie during her presidential campaign in 2008. A federal court ruled that the regnant campaign laws banned the airing of those ads and the movie in the 30 days prior to the Democratic primaries.

When the Supreme Court heard the case in 2009, President Obama’s attorneys argued that the ban was constitutional — even going to far as to say that the government could ban certain books that were to be published close to an election.

“Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. asked, for instance, whether a campaign biography in book form could be banned,” the New York Times reported at the time. “[The government's lawyer] said yes, so long as it was paid for with a corporation’s general treasury money, as opposed to its political action committee.”

Instead, the court ruled that the government cannot deprive people of the right to engage in political speech simply because they have formed a corporation.

Thanks. You don’t understand what you posted do you ? You can read the words and can cut and paste the words but the words in the order you posted have no meaning for you.

Or you can think Hillary and Obama made mistakes in that regard, but that Trump is a doddering old moron who wants to change 1A so people can’t say truthful things about him.

Who thinks Hillary and Obama made mistakes in that regard?

Did anyone ever say that here? Ever?

One has nothing to do with the other. I'm not defending what you're flailing away at to make your point. Also HILLARY! OBAMA!

You're defending a mentally ill person as the president.

So, Trump quotes a ridiculous column by broken-record hack Michael Goodwin... and still manages to fuck it up.

The word he was looking for was "consequential." Not "consensual"

Illiterate and mentally ill

If there was ever a non-consensual president, this is the one.

Clown.

Your theory is that they released the damaging book about Trump, into the public where everyone can read it for free, to help Trump? That's quite a reach.

If we are to believe the Access Hollywood interview, it may very well be consensual ...

Didn't see it. What's up?

She has said in the past she's not running. And I would personally like to get away from the celebrity politician.
