If a right can be regulated, is it a right at all?
No, then it becomes an allowance. As in, we’re allowed to say what we want, as long as it’s within certain bounds.
That’s the problem I have with this mentality. Regulation of the rights implies government control over them, their extent, when and where and how they can be exercised. That is complete BS. The very reason these rights were spelled out in the Bill Of Rights was to prevent exactly that kind of government control. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Pretty simple, even the NYT ought to be able to figure that one out. Well maybe with a little help.
