Democrats Donna Edwards and John Conyers pushing constitutional amendment to overturn The First Amendment

democrat-logoThe so called Progressives in the House are still fuming the recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down portions of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Law. The same issue that caused Obama to throw a tantrum at the Supreme Court Judges during the State of the Union address. According to Jammie Wearing Fool, these so called “progressives” which are really regressives  are working on a constitutional amendment to basically repeal the First Amendment!

Well they have taken the next illogical step, mainly proposing a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment. The amendment is being cosponsored by Donna Edwards (D-MD) and John Conyers (D-MI) among others.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

John Kerry, fearing for his Senate seat maybe, and making an appeal to the far left in his party went even a little further.

I think we need a constitutional amendment to make it clear once and for all that corporations do not have the same free speech rights as individuals.
