In attempting to regulate spending of corporations on political campaigns and candidates, legislation introduced in Congress would eliminate newspaper editorials about candidates or ballot measures, writes Eugene Volokh in The Volokh Conspiracy.
Intended as an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the law would restrict newspapers and media businesses organized as for-profit corporations from spending money to publish or broadcast anything that would have the purpose of electing a candidate or passing a ballot measure. -db
