If money is Speech, and the Extreme Court ruled it is

[Bandit]

When a government agency such as DEA or IRS confiscates or attaches your money/bank accounts are they in effect denying you free speech? :shrug: Or is money ONLY speech when it comes to politics?

2. The Supreme Court did NOT rule that "money is speech"

That is a misreading of the case law. That is why limits on campaign contributions were held to be constitutional. However, the Supreme Court also ruled that *speech financed by money* is just as much *speech* as any other free speech, so special rules that specifically targeted money-backed speech were NOT constitutional.
