Kate Sedgwick co-edits Matador Nights from Buenos Aires where she teaches English, learns Spanish and thoroughly enjoys herself. Her art and writing have appeared in print and on-line publications and her novel in progress will be received with prurient glee by critics of American culture if it ever gets into their grubby little hands.

I love it (the cartoon, not the decision). I’m a pretty big free speech purist, but I don’t think spending money counts as speech.

I really like that you added our apathy to the cause. More right-thinking folks not voting in 2000 is how we got this court that we’re going to be saddled with for a long, long time

This is amazing Kate. Had no idea you were such a talented artist. Really like that you added apathy to the list. Why aren’t more people outraged by this decision??

You can’t blame the Court on this one. Blame badly written legislation. We are still a nation of laws. Passions, politics, and policy have no place at the Court—-those energies are admirable and should inform voters and legislatures. But courts are the dispassionate auditors of the process. For them, the law must be consistent with the Constitution, nothing more.
