    Odd case to make against HR1. As it implicitly notes, political donations already require public disclosure of names and addresses. Is the argument that that too is an unacceptable infringement on First Amendment rights? https://thedispatch.com/p/democrats-election-bill-is-a-disaster …pic.twitter.com/4TBubfAdu2

        And 2020's record-shattering political fundraising totals are a bit problematic for the argument that disclosure chills speechpic.twitter.com/8U3b9WjFmQ

        No, this is the balance that the courts have struck. Disclosure requirements for candidate advocacy *does* burden speech, but that burden is balanced by the need to prevent and deter corruption. Issue advocacy, which is what that paragraph is about, does not have same calculus.

        right, and the issue that this legislation is trying to address is sham nonprofits set up with a wink and a nod to engage in outright politicking in ways that allow political donors to hide their identities

        Not an odd case at all. Associational privacy is a huge deal with deep legal and historical roots that is quite distinct from direct giving to political candidates. Look at famed NAACP v. Alabama ruling. Look at why even ACLU says they don't like this part of H.R. 1!

        What do you think of the objections by the Green Party? I interviewed @HowieHawkins on my show about them the other night.https://youtu.be/k79Z0WJ-XTM
