Adds a new dimension to the term "Freedom of Expression". Which the
Supreme Court has termed "the matrix, the indispensable condition of
nearly every other form of freedom."


Oh you have no idea how far this has gone:

Some people might worry about their employment once they are
arraigned. Others don't worry at all.

I had never heard of an "legislative director" and so looked it up on
Google. It seems that an "legislative director" is a person that "
usually works at the state or federal capitol with a particular
legislator, monitoring all issues and proposed laws, and then making
recommendations based on his or her boss's political bent.

In common English that might say, "reads the proposed legislation and
tells the Legislator how to vote"? Or perhaps "aids the Legislator in
voting for or against legislation that he hasn't read and doesn't
understand"?



I know nothing of politics in Oregon.

That job in Illinois would be called "Mr Madigan's Bag Man"
on the timeless principle that the Speaker decides which
loony ideas will be passed into law and which will die in
committee. There's a long line of people who will pay for
any given bill to pass and another just as long line to drop
it. The artful Legislative Director will maximize the
revenue by shaking down both groups.

Otherwise referred to as "Democracy in action" :-)
