Obama has requested that the Justice Department intervene in an ad directed towards him:
Any request by any political campaign that federal officials intervene to stop the airing of legitimate political opinion ought to throw up red flags to everybody who cares about protecting the First Amendment.
Just imagine if McCain tried to convince the Justice Department to intervene in one of Obama’s ads? Although, it would almost be interesting if he did do something similar just to see what the reaction would be. But then that wouldn’t be very presidential, now would it?
