It is doubtful these good government rules could avoid the Supreme Court's modern decisions on the poll tax and other discriminatory restrictions. While the States have been allowed to adopt party qualification rules that favor the established parties, because the rules on the exercise of the franchise are the States exclusive jurisdiction, even those attempts to let only proper people's organizations organize the vote have been made subject to the Constitution's Reconstruction amendments. <br />LetUsHavePeacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150236444828943359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-68512220918507093272018-09-24T22:12:08.273-04:002018-09-24T22:12:08.273-04:00I've come to believe that that political campa...I've come to believe that that political campaigns should be publicly funded. That, however, looks (politically) like an impossibility. So, as a second-best when it comes to contributions to political campaigns, I think that the following rules should apply:<br /><br />1) Only registered voters may contribute to political campaigns. Corporation, not being voters, cannot contribute. And voters may not be reimbursed by a third party (e.g., an employer, an individual, whether a registered voter or not, and so on) for their contributions--they have to use their own resources.<br /><br />2) The campaigns must report who contributes and how much they contribute.<br /><br />3) Contributions to any specific campaign should be strictly limited (although I don't have any specific amount in mind, $1000 to any campaign seems ample).<br /><br />Don Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198988872512792834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-36107743086744225482018-09-23T17:51:02.522-04:002018-09-23T17:51:02.522-04:00Forgive me for suggesting that this is a simple pr...<br />Forgive me for suggesting that this is a simple problem that demands a simple answer: are there limits that Congress can place on the freedoms that the First Amendment guarantees? The language of the Constitution is explicit: Congress shall make "no law". No one, except Justice Black, has ever been willing to accept that original meaning. But it is rather difficult to see how individuals can logically be limited in their exercise of their unrestricted 1st Amendment freedom of peaceful assembly for the petitioning of grievances based solely on the statutory category of their association.
