Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : So for example, you have Justice Clarence Thomas who's written that he believes that all campaign finance limits are unconstitutional under the First Amendment.
56% : So can you give us a little bit of what you're thinking of in terms of legal fixes with the caveat that the First Amendment precludes some fixes.
51% :Dahlia: Can you talk for a second about the idea that the first amendment is predicated on a notion, which the founders clearly believed deeply, that more speech will always be better and that good speech will always drown out bad speech.
51% : So here's Justice Thomas, just to give you an example, who would ban laws that I think under the First Amendment that we really need to help voters make decisions like laws that would require those who spend money on online ads to reveal who they are.
49% : And part of the confounding problem here of course is the First Amendment.
44% : And how does the First Amendment enable such speech while also offering us tools for curtailing this crisis?
44% : And also, I think you note, the court is really changing in its thinking around the First Amendment right now.
