So Much for Freedom of Speech

So much for free speech

WASHINGTON - A conservative group asked federal election officials on Thursday to investigate whether television ads for director Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" violate campaign finance law regulating when commercials may feature a presidential candidate.

The group Citizens United contended that commercials for "Fahrenheit 9/11" fall under federal campaign finance law. Regulations prohibit the use of corporate money to air ads identifying a presidential candidate in the 30 days before his party's nominating convention and the 60 days before the Nov. 2 election.

The worst part of this is that the law was challenged AND UPHELD by the Supreme Court, even though it is blatantly unconstitutional. I am not fan of Moore's, but this is an attack on all of our freedom. And now people are going to use the law to limit free speech.
