The Obama administration is attempting to bypass Congress and force publicly-traded companies to reveal their political donations through regulation....The SEC regulation would do the reverse — force companies to disclose the political groups they support — and have a similar effect....“Sen. McConnell believes that in this country, there are few rights more sacred than those protected by our First Amendment,” the spokesman told The Daily Caller in a statement. “This action would be a direct assault on those rights, which is one of the chief reasons Congress has defeated similar proposals multiple times.”...“This, my friends, is all you need to know about this administration’s view of free speech,” McConnell would fire back. “The courts have said that Congress doesn’t have the authority to muzzle political speech. So the president himself will seek to go around it by attempting to change the First Amendment.”
Where have we heard bypass congress before? Anything this guy doesn't like he takes the law into his own hands. How much more of this will Congress let him get away with before they vote to impeach him?
