the FEC can bite my fuzzy white ass
A few days ago the Online Coalition sent an open letter to the FEC (further commented upon by Instapundit and Eric at Classical Values). I'm with Eric on this:
What part of "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech" don't they understand?
Of course, that is just part of the legal argument against the FEC's proposed limitation of political speech on the web. On the practical side, there isn't a damn thing the FEC can do to stop bloggers from commenting on US politics. They sure as hell can't stop me (I'm Canadian), nor Tim Blair, nor any of the other bloggers outside the USA. I'm sure they can try, but they would have as much success as a snowball in Hell. And if they can't stop bloggers outside the USA, what hope do they have of stopping bloggers in the bastion of freedom and democracy that is the USA?
