    Yes, he absolutely should have, and maybe someone would have figured out why the the fascists wanted that law. Instead Democrats INCLUDING CLINTON said “gee, conservatism really does need some extra free speech rights!..” Yes, that was their reasoning: defend “free speech” in the “marketplace of ideas” while making sure that any opposing voices would be eliminated. It was as fucking stupid then as it is now.

      Your dragging all sorts of things into it (other members of congress). It was a veto proof majority and acting like dick republicans of today would not have helped 30 plus years ago. You seem to have no concept of that time period at all.

          the democrats follow the law and don’t try to cheat like the republicans. put the blame on the criminal and not the person who failed to protect the victim ehough. this is just so rediculous.

              this goes back to the democrats not being as bad as the repbulicans. They just have not manipulated the rules in their favor the way the republicans have and retain historical norms longer. Yeah they eventually change do to repbulican dickish behavior but they would not be a better party by beating them to the punch on that.
