"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;"
Period. Anyone else feel like they live in a communist state sans the social benefits these days? A college student arrested for asking the wrong questions during a campus political forum? Republicans forcing Democrats to denounce their antiwar constituents on the Senate floor (via an amendment to the defense authorization bill no less)? Allegedly liberal Democrats introducing their own amendment "condemning attacks on the “honor, integrity and patriotism” of any individual who is serving or has served in the Armed Forces"? In what fucked up, bizzaro version of democracy is it okay for politicians to wield legislative authority as a weapon against citizens who criticize their government's warmongering in the "free press"? Oh, that's right. AMERICA.
