maybe the internet and email are outside of the 1st amendment. just saying.
The first amendment has been dead for a long time; ever since 1919:
When a nation is at war, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.compare and contrast with:
Amendment IThere you have it; the Supreme Court has a long tradition of not caring about the Constitution.
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.
