    More tangentially, it seems like getting in front of the supreme court is the easiest lever for political change in this country. 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.

    You’re under the understanding that fascists give a shit about consistency or facts. They don’t.

      Yeah you can’t cast spells against the state. That’s not how power works.

      The only thing you would accomplish with that argument (assuming the SC even bothered to hear it) is getting an opinion with interpretations they pulled out their ass explaining why it’s not speech when Cubans or sex workers are involved.
