Say? The printing press and it's production is speech, like cash..
+3 The Supreme Court ruled that political spending is a form of free speech protected by the First Amendment, most famously in the landmark Buckley v. Valeo (1976) decision and expanded in Citizens United v. FEC (2010).The Court determined that because communicating ideas in modern society requires money, limiting how much an individual or group can spend directly restricts the quantity and depth of their expression.
But scotus is ignant. Political spending doesnt make it free speech, products of our press makes it free speech. Publishing is free speech, not vocalizing. "In God We Trust" printed on pressed currency and minted metals is free speech and freedom of association is pooling your "bills" (a press product) with one another for group actIvities, FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION.
You can be told to shut up in public and if you dont you can get arrested, regardless of what your message may be.
