rick: i want to make a brief observation. i think joey fishman from the university of texas pointed this out. if you look at shelby county written by john roberts, if you look at the first line of the mccutchen case, the most recent case on the campaign finance area, the first sentence is about democracy and about the right of donors to be able to have influence over their representatives and that is an appropriate way.

rick: i want to make a brief observation. i think joey fishman from the university of texas pointed this out. if you look at shelby county roberts, if you look at the first line of the mccutchen case, the most recent case on the campaign finance area, the first sentence is about democracy and about the right of donors to be able to have influence over their representatives and a look into the mind of john roberts. he is offended by the idea that the state might limit money in politics. at he does not seem to have problem with states limiting access to the ballot. joan: does anyone want to jump in one last time? curt: i will just make a quick it is the job is of the states to limit access to the ballot and make the ballot available to those who are eligible to vote. i do not think anyone would disagree it is a balancing act. you cannot be obsessed with fra ud. hand, you cannot make voting so easy you permit fraud. the states have both roles. like one of those rules is restricting those that are valid. joan: lots of time for questions. that gentleman over there. thank you. >> i was most interested in the discussion of constitution
