South Carolina law allows only certain legislative caucuses to raise money and engage in the full range of protected free speech—those formed around party, race, or gender.
That, apparently, excludes constitutional conservatives like those of the Freedom Caucus. Moreover, the members may face criminal penalties for exercising their First Amendment rights.
