I don't know how this is about money or elections

I'm all for supressing the free speech of dumbass teenagers, but I hate Ken Starr and the religious right, so I'm probably not one to comment, but...
This is about elections the same way a high profile abortion case that everyone knows is going to lose is about elections. It convinces a certain group of single-issue voters (AKA: The Party Faithful) that you're fighting the good fight. The lefties get all teary eyed about the ACLU and our precious freedoms, and the anti-flag burning types get to think that they're a bit safer in their trailers, and the way-righties don't know what to think but don't want anyone telling them that Jesus can't take an immaculate bong hit if He really wants one. Everyones happy and gives more money to their side in the end no matter who wins
this round of the good fight.
