[QUOTE="A2SG, post: 77462098, member: 227164"] Then explain why torts like slander and libel have never been declared unconstitutional. The first amendment specifically says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Nowhere does it say speech comes free of penalties on occasion, legal or otherwise. For example, slander or libel, inciting a riot, threats, etc. Gag orders happen frequently. At no point have they been ruled unconstitutional...and it seems highly unlikely Trump's will in either case that one has been imposed. The specific restrictions may be altered somewhat, depending on the ruling of the appeals court, but it won't be ruled unconstitutional. So...what don't I understand about the first amendment, exactly? -- A2SG, feel free to be as detailed as necessary..... [/QUOTE]
