House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D. CA) announced that she is in favor of a plan being advanced by Democrats that finally takes the progressive extreme left out of the closet regarding their hatred of the Constitution. Democrats are so offended that corporations can give political donations now (because it means Republicans might be able to raise money similar to the kind of money Democrats have always gotten from unions) that they want to alter the First Amendment. Feel free to read that again and get a rag to wipe up whatever you just spit out. Democrats want to essentially amend the First Amendment so that they can regulate (i.e. stop) corporate speech.
The thing that scares Democrats most is that they can't win a straight argument. They have to change the subject, drown the argument or stop it all together. Because, in the end, conservative Constitutionalism wins hands down every time it is presented on equal footing. They claim there is a problem with the anonymous nature of the donors. That doesn't take an amendment to the Constitution to fix, that takes a statute to require disclosure. One that would likely gain bipartisan support no less. As soon as the names are out, they will demonize the donors, digging up every piece of dirt they can find on them, just like they did when Joe the Plumber spoke out in 2008. This isn't about disclosure, it's about silence. Ms. Pelosi is just another petty bully, insecure in her beliefs, knowing that in a straight fight, she will lose. So much for that oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
