PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

The 300-page Supreme Court decision legislative package which now regulates political speech -- some reactions:

John Eastman, Chapman law school -- there is now "more protection for pornography on the Internet than we give to core political speech 60 days before an election."

Roger Pilon, Cato Institute -- "What's the point of having a court if it won't protect the Constitution? This is a majority that thinks like a legislature."

UPDATE: The Spoons Experience reports that the Supreme Court has drafted, signed and enacted new legislation remaking the 10th Amendment, which now reads as follows.

Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people Courts.

And the 9th Amendment has been eliminated altogether in this newest action by the court.

UPDATE 2: Spoons has more. Quotable:

most people don't fully appreciate the magnitude of what just happened ... With today's decision, our Nine Robed Rulers have given their approval to Congress's efforts to make it a felony to criticize them under certain circumstances. Think about that for just a second. We now live in a country in which someday soon, a man could be sent to federal prison for years for saying, at the wrong time and place, that Hillary Clinton is a bad Senator, or that George Bush shouldn't be reelected ...

UPDATE #3: Hey, gang, let's all get together and commit a crime -- violating the Supreme Court's new anti-free speech law. Matthew Hoy has the details on a blogosphere conspiracy to commit political speech during an election. (Is this posting and Hoy's suggestion a RICO crime? We report, the arbitrary police powers that rule our land decide).
