I promise not to stop free speech, anymore. All I ask, is that free speech be a two way street. You are welcome to my debates, I just ask that i be welcome to yours. As for this: When I am in myright mind, I support freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. I don't think any POTUS ever, has the right to sue a news agency for reporting the news. This sets a dangerous precent.

Side: Yes.

I'm not so quick to put my faith in free speech. Yes, obviously we should not live in a society where we are frightened to speak our minds in case we get visited by a death squad. But the other extreme also has major problems. For example, you will discover the loudest advocates of free speech to be the liars and the con artists who don't want the law to intervene in their right to fool you. I do not agree that a person should have a right to lie to other people and especially when that lie endangers them in some way.

Side: Yes.

Check with the Democrats wanting to curb free speech.

Do you understand the 1st Amendment.

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.

Where is the law you have described in the 1st Amendment.

Side: Yes.

Is Trump violating the First Amendent?

Hello y:

Of course, the 1st Amendment protects many different rights. So, I'll pick freedom of the press.. When Trump calls the media the "enemy of the people", and attacks their reporting as "fake news", I'd say he IS violating the 1st Amendment..

I agree with you. I am worried for the First Amendment, in this country.
