    I really think you could get them to reneg on the “money as a form of speech” thing if you made the case that, say, you were just “talking” to Cubans or sex-workers or one of the other myriad ways your not actually allowed to use money as US citizen.

    Nah, the courts only go more fascist now that the fascists have a majority, never less.

      You’re probably right. I still think it would be worth a try. They wouldn’t be judges, wouldn’t have gone into law if they were 100% cynical actors, if they didn’t in their own way believe in the system as it purports to operate.
