4. Paid with a corporate check! |
|
Might as well make it truly protected speech, cos we all know the individual has less rights than a corporation.

Who first told me the meaning of the acronym in the phrase "In God we trust":

8. That's why the money=speech argument is so illogical. The law acknowledges VERBAL ACTS |
|
and you are not "free" to engage in any verbal acts that you please because of the 1st Amendment. The prototypical examples of verbal acts being threats and solicitation, neither protected by the 1st...

12. There shouldn't be regardless. |

It should not be illegal to sell something that it is perfectly legal to give away.
