Quotes-start.png The Federal Election Commission believes, as do most Americans, that campaign spending limits help keep elections more fair; ideally your vote should have no less impact than that of someone with a hundred or a thousand times your income. But the majority of Supreme Court members don’t see it that way; they believe that campaign finance limits restrict “free speech.” This is the same argument used to defend the marketing of junk food to children.
