Justice Stevens x 2
Latest book promotion appearance -- the U.S. Senate. Full remarks found here along with overly broad sentiments on searching bank records and the like. A lowly clerk might see medical records; showing it to the government, a bit different. Best spin on his "money is not speech" bit (easily confused) is that yes it is used for it, so has some protection, but not the same as pure speech. Lyle Denniston was wary about his remarks (can apply to both).
