The SC could have made a way more limited finding about movies without unleashing the superPAC hell we find ourselves in. Why did a case about a limited run movie enable people to run ads during football games?

Buddy, advertising works, there is a reason why coca-cola does it.

If you don't think people can decide whether statements made in ads are true or false, then why trust them to decide who makes & enforces laws? Either they're rational adults or they're not.

You're saying you want Trump's FEC to decide what ads can be shown during a football game. Do you really think that would be an improvement?
