On the recordSeptember 10, 1998
I am inclined to think this obsession with eliminating the ability of people to speak out freely in an election cycle is unwise. It does threaten the robust nature of this democracy. I recall last year we had 30 Members here who voted to amend the first amendment to the Constitution so they could pass this kind of legislation. I think at least they were honest enough to propose a constitutional amendment to amend the first amendment, which I thought was stunning.
