Democrats have always been filthy lying sneaks determined to change the Constitution without troubling the American people with pesky amendments; so this came as a complete surprise to me:
Even when Democrats call for a constitutional amendment they are still up to their sneaky tricks:
Reid’s “obsession” with the Koch Brothers is misdirection. He is laying down the parameters for the debates that are sure to come over altering the First Amendment. It’s not about “heavy spending” as Sneaky Harry claims. The Koch Brothers are paupers when compared to all of the individual Democrat millionaires/billionaires and labor union coffers. The Koch Brothers would go broke in a year if they had to pay for Hollywood’s propaganda, or pay for the help Democrats get from the TAX DOLLAR FUNDED education industry alone.
Altering the First Amendment is about abolishing FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON THE INTERNET. Eliminating freedom of speech on the Internet has been the goal since then-First Lady Hillary Clinton called for an Internet gatekeeper.
Cass Sunstein called for even more:
And let’s not forget Senator Feinstein’s sidewinder approach to abolishing Internet free speech:
Di Fi enhanced freedom of the press which is not altered in the Democrat amendment as Senator Cruz noted in the first linked article:
There is no way in hell Democrats will limit a ‘free press’ they control. Indeed, Democrats and press barons are equally contemptible of free speech on the Internet.
Incidentally, if Democrats want to alter the First Amendment I suggest eliminating these four words ——“or of the press” —— so it reads:
Under my suggested change the press would still enjoy freedom of speech like the rest of us. More to the point, the press would have to defend freedom of speech as a matter of self-interest instead of only defending press protection while feeding everybody else to Democrat wolves.
As I’ve said many times, Democrats had nothing to fear so long as freedom of speech was limited to soapbox orators and barroom pundits. Freedom of speech on the Internet is exposing Democrat ideology to more Americans than Democrats can live with. That’s a new fear for Democrats; hence, they are reacting like cornered rats.
Finally, Harry Reid can, and did, change Senate rules. He should NOT get away with making rules governing the dialogue surrounding the proposed Democrat amendment. Most Americans already know that Reid’s attacks on the Koch Brothers are absurd; so every time he opens his foul mouth a Constitution-loving senator should ask him about freedom of speech on the Internet. That is what the debate should be about.
“This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment.”

“Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the authority to regulate political speech, because elected officials have decided they don’t like it when the citizenry has the temerity to criticize what they’ve done,” he said.
Ted Cruz: Democratic Senators Want to ‘Repeal the First Amendment’

Even when Democrats call for a constitutional amendment they are still up to their sneaky tricks:
What is it with Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and his obsession with the Koch brothers? Reid’s obsession has infiltrated Senate Democrats to the point Democrats announced they would take steps in the next month in order to change the First Amendment’s free speech protection. The rationale for this step to overturn the First Amendment and Supreme Court precedence is to give Congress the authority to “limit who can spend money in elections and how much they are allowed to spend.”

Meanwhile, Reid accuses Republicans of stalling and blocking the Senate in order to reward the Koch brothers.
Reid stated, “Amending our Constitution is not something any of us should take lightly, but the flood of special interest money in our American Democracy is one of the glaring threats our system of government has ever faced.”
Continuing his rant and obvious obsession, Reid stated, “There is absolutely no question the Koch brothers are in a category of their own. No one else is pumping money into the shadowy campaign organizations and campaigns like they are. There isn’t even a close second. They are doing this to promote issues that make themselves richer.”
Reid contends that his hand was forced in this manner by “heavy spending, reportedly more than $100 million planned, by Koch-related organizations this year.
Reid’s “obsession” with the Koch Brothers is misdirection. He is laying down the parameters for the debates that are sure to come over altering the First Amendment. It’s not about “heavy spending” as Sneaky Harry claims. The Koch Brothers are paupers when compared to all of the individual Democrat millionaires/billionaires and labor union coffers.

Cass Sunstein called for even more:
Just prior to his appointment as President Obama’s so-called regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein wrote a lengthy academic paper suggesting the government should “infiltrate” social network websites, chat rooms and message boards. Such “cognitive infiltration,” Sunstein argued, should be used to enforce a U.S. government ban on “conspiracy theorizing.”

And let’s not forget Senator Feinstein’s sidewinder approach to abolishing Internet free speech:
Feinstein voiced her concern “that the current version of the bill would grant a special privilege to people who aren’t really reporters at all, who have no professional qualifications,” like bloggers and citizen journalists.

Di Fi enhanced freedom of the press which is not altered in the Democrat amendment as Senator Cruz noted in the first linked article:
“And I’ll note this amendment, which has 41 Democratic senators as co-sponsors – 41 Democrats have signed on to repealing the First Amendment,” Cruz said. “It explicitly says nothing in this new amendment shall abridge the freedom of the press.
“So the New York Times is protected, but it doesn’t say the same thing about the freedom of speech,” Cruz said. “It doesn’t say the same thing about religious liberty.”
There is no way in hell Democrats will limit a ‘free press’ they control. Indeed, Democrats and press barons are equally contemptible of free speech on the Internet.
Incidentally, if Democrats want to alter the First Amendment I suggest eliminating these four words ——“or of the press” —— so it reads:
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Under my suggested change the press would still enjoy freedom of speech like the rest of us. More to the point, the press would have to defend freedom of speech as a matter of self-interest instead of only defending press protection while feeding everybody else to Democrat wolves.
