Obama Calls for Amendment Limiting Free-Speech Rights

President Barack Obama endorsed a constitutional amendment that would restrict the free-speech rights of political activist groups by overturning the Supreme Court decision in the landmark Citizens United v FEC case that granted First Amendment rights to corporations.

“Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United,” Obama wrote during a question and answer session on the website Reddit on Wednesday.

“Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.”

Whoaaaa...what a blatant violation of civil liberties.

Wasn't it just a few short years ago during the Bush years when all the liberals were shouting about how their civil liberties were being violated? Remember Tim Robbins and his "chill wind" blowing speech?

Really? Well here ya' go Tim.
