The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on proposed changes to the First Amendment that would limit forms of “speech” Democrats consider unsavory:

Ted Cruz adviser Amanda Carpenter is tweeting unsettling details from the hearing where Democrats are attempting to strip the First Amendment, ostensibly to “keep big money out of politics.” Carpenter started off by doing some repairs to a statement by Sen. Chuck Schumer:

Senate Judiciary Cmte is considering a constitutional amdt to put reasonable limits on election spending WATCH NOW: http://t.co/2cKxoHiEpu

When Schumer uses the word “reasonable,” the result will be anything but.

Carpenter continued as the hearing went on:

Freedom of speech hangs in the balance.
