Mersey, and on another point I think you struck it on the head. The proponents of speech restriction and political donation restriction soft cell the infringements on the First Amendment as 'policy choice' to a great extent, much like their continued clamoring on the Second Amendment.

I would hazard a guess that if one were to soft shoe Roe v Wade as nothing more than a 'policy debate', one would see the resistance rise in the eyes of the left by that soft shoe notation of that.
