Very informative about a very important topic: How governments try to insulate themselves from their constituents thereby undermining the very democracy they claim to be defending. The ultimate hypocrisy: taking power from the people to gain control over the people. dci

This opinion piece covers a topic that has received plenty of attention, providing new information on a group challenging limits on political speech in a novel way. It does not however indicate who is behind the group. Also, by only mentioning a Republican against whom the group wishes to run an advertisement the article leaves uunclear whether the group is for the Democrats. The author should have provided more information on the targets; Mr Burton is not the worst offender against the group's views!
