"...the push for donor information had chilled its First Amendment rights."

Republicans have always balked at revealing who funds their shittery. The fraud that is "Citizens United,'" immediately comes to mind. The Reich have argued - and won - in courts that funding elections/politics is free speech, and then turn around and deny their funders that free speech.

Writing A BIG FAT CHECK is not just speech - it is screaming speech! Begging to be heard; PROUD to be heard. Not releasing donor information is what has "chilled First Amendment rights."

* I have always wondered: "What do those donors fear?"
