Now let them repeal the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act which basically clobbered the original Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 (and the subsequent strengthening of it by amendment in 1972 and 1985).

That would be a nice third pillar, to form a legal tripod, with this "Corner Post" and the removal of the Chevron Deference, IMHO.

Article (by leftists) that describes the strengthening amendments in 1972 and 1985. The leftist author(s) who support Obama clobbering this protection in his "Modernization" claim that allowing Americans to be subject to the same propaganda as foreigners is a-ok. Still, the write-up about the amendments has some good nuggets of info - that the 1972 one was implemented to quash an infiltrating communist influence and the 1985 one was to prohibit taxpayer funding of any propaganda (NPR anyone?). For example of a corrosive propaganda outlet that should not be taxpayer funded -- During Obama's first fraudulent term, George Soros, through his OSI, was able to get his lizard talons into NPR just before Obama clobbered the protections of the original Smith-Mundt Act and it's amendments with his 2013 "modernization".
From wiki on NPR -- "... In October 2010, NPR accepted a $1.8 million grant from the Open Society Institute. The grant is meant to begin a project called Impact of Government that was intended to add at least 100 journalists at NPR member radio stations in all 50 states by 2013.[28] The OSI has made previous donations but does not take on-air credit for its gifts.[29] ..."
