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.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again - the CONGRESS has exceeded it's authority here (and elsewhere, but thats another thread . . .). "CONGRESS shall pass no law ..." is a specific prohibition! Any law passed by the CONGRESS which in any way restricts the freedom of speech is prima facia unconstitutional and should be ignored. Let them try to pull you before a judge - even the most liberal one can not deny that the law passed in clearly unconstitutional.

While encouraging that a Representative is attempting to "soften" the law - it is discouraging that NO ONE has attempted to challenge it!

I could also ask what are you doing to challenge it?
No flame intended.
