"Campaign finance reform restrictions are always pitched as, 'Let us prevent corruption, let us hold politicians accountable.' And they do exactly the opposite."

"We have nothing to fear from a free marketplace of ideas."

"The only people who can win elections then are incumbent politicians, because incumbent politicians have armies of lobbyists and entrenched interests that raise the money and fund them."

"Imposing speech regulations based on the whims of whatever party happens to be in the majority in Congress at a given time is not a reasonable exercise."
