Sen. Charles Schumer

[Helz]

What good would come from this if it's passed?

Our government will go from violating the shit out of our 1st amendment rights to staying in-line with the law. Examples like "You can not yell fire in a movie theater" because it could cause panic and people could get hurt or "You can not instigate a riot" and even the legality of noise ordinances. This all just makes sesne.

The larger part of it concerns campaign financing. To date most campaign financing laws have just been made to counter corruption without paying in mind to ensuring equality. This would allow the creation of new laws that protect equality in elections. It will make it harder for rich people to influence elections.

The fire thing is my favorite example of our corrupt government. That was the ruling of the supreme court during WW1 so they could arrest anti-war protesters.
