What is Udall thinking, I wonder?
The American Civil Liberties Union strongly opposes S.J. Res. 19, a
proposed constitutional amendment, sponsored by Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM),
that would severely limit the First Amendment, lead directly to government
censorship of political speech and result in a host of unintended
consequences that would undermine the goals the amendment has been
introduced to advance—namely encouraging vigorous political dissent and
providing voice to the voiceless, which we, of course, support.
Were it to pass, the amendment would be the first time, save for the failed
policies of Prohibition, that the Constitution has ever been amended to limit
rights and freedoms.
The intent of the amendment is to allow Congress to reverse Citizens United and perhaps get some of the money out of politics. I seriously doubt the amendment, IF passed (doubtful) will get ALL of the money out of politics.
