I don't think these are too outrageously taxed yet.. 
There's a reason the 1st and 2nd are back to back.

Freedom of speech, religion and other First Amendment issues are likely to be among the most visible during the coming Senate confirmation hearings on President Obama's nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan for the U.S. Supreme Court.
As an illustration why, consider this quote dug up by the First Amendment Center's David L. Hudson, who found it in a government brief signed by Kagan in United States v Stevens: “Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs.”

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

I hope the Repubs in the Senate see all this stuff!!!
How much tax would I have to pay fo a ‘UP YOURS OBAMA”?

Bump.
So basically this is Stevens 2.
The Liberals are trying to figure out that one as we speak. The 2nd is not compatible with a totalitarian Police State.
the only speech you will be allowed, without threat of incarceration, is the speech the gov’t allows you.
Where's the “FREE” part come in?
Remember, top Nazis could pretty much say what they wanted as long as they were of value to the regime. If they started saying the wrong things, or plotting to kill Hitler, their social value became much diminished and they could be killed.
Not at all surprising to me that Obama would select the nominee most likely to select the most fascistic solutions to any sort of problem.
He's very given to accepting the legitimacy of authoritarianism. His grandpa must have been holy hell on his butt!
” ... a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs.”
Whether speech remains free depends upon a utilitarian test of whether allowing it results in the greatest amount of happiness or good for the greatest number of people (”greater good”), while abortion remains a categorical imperative.
These people are pure evil.

“I hope the Repubs in the Senate see all this stuff!”
And grow a pair and stop this person dead in his/hers/its tracks!
So does this mean the return of “The Hays Commission” in liberal form?
His grandpa most likely held Barry while Frank Marshall Davis gave holy hell to his butt...
The obama administration can kiss my arse. They believe that Gov't power comes at the end of a gun (even said so, the mao loving son's of bitches); I believe my liberty is GOD given and is defended from the end of my gun.
Your big time Commies are spied on all the time and have no privacy ~ (in the theory and practice in the former USSR and China). The big wig Nazis were entitled to a good time and could say what they wanted among themselves provided they didn't plot to kill Hitler (or Goering).
For everybody else it was all the same thing ~ Nazism, Communism, Socialism ~ no toleration of commentary by the people "being served" (as on a plate for dinner)
I feel sick. I’m going to take a break from FR for a couple of weeks. My nerves are frayed to the snapping point.
