None Dare Speak Ill of Corrupty McJunketKing

A group produced an ad talking about Tom DeLay's connections to the Jack Abramoff scandal. Tom DeLay has threatened to sue any television station who runs the ad.

I wonder what Judge Alito's thoughts are on freedom of expression as contained in the First Amendment?

The cornered animal attacks, we've seen it time and time again in politics. Sen. Conrad Burns of Montana, the Senator most closely tied to Abramoff, is trying to blame Democrats for the news reports in his state linking his name to the convicted lobbyist's. It wouldn't be the $150,000 he received from Abramoff, but those that MENTION it. I see.

Now DeLay's doing the same thing. And it's clear that threatening to sue just over MENTIONING the Abramoff scandal proves that they're all scared shitless, as well they should be.
