The First Amendment is not to Schumer's liking so he wants to -ummm- amend it. From Town Hall:
Schumer Calls for Amending First Amendment to Limit Political Speech
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D.-N.Y., has determined there is too much political speech in the United States coming from sources he cannot tolerate. So, he stood in front of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, along with Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D.-Ill., to announce he is backing Democratic New Mexico Sen. Tom Udall's proposal to amend the First Amendment.
The First Amendment — as it now stands — includes 10 unambiguous words about freedom of speech.
"Congress," it says, "shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech."
Schumer and Udall do not like this sweeping restraint on government power. There are speakers whose speech they want to abridge. The Bill of Rights — as correctly interpreted by the Supreme Court — stands in their way. So, they are seeking to change it.
Good luck with that one. Hey Chuck? How much are the Mexican Cartels paying you to keep the border open? There is no other explanation for our lack of movement on this problem.
