Justice Scalia, "It should have been debated in the New York Legislature and the New York Legislature could have said, 'Yes, we're going to change our libel law. 'But the living constitutionalists on the Supreme Court, the Warren Court, simply decided, 'Yes, it used to be that ... George Washington could sue somebody that libeled him, but we don’t think that's a good idea any more.'"

So you think the Constitutional confines of the 1st Amendment should NOT be restored ... how is that supporting the restoration of our Constitution? How is that stance a 'conservative' one that is supposed to be about restoring the 'first principles' of our nations founding fathers?

Sigh.

I’ll ask again. And please don’t hide behind Scalia or the Bible. Just answer the question.

Who do you want to be in charge make sure reporting is “responsible?”

Me? I’m happy that the American people are the ones
